A Highly Diverting Festival!

Our amazing crew of staff and volunteers work hard to make Green Festival sustainable...

• Hundreds of thousands of pounds of waste have been diverted from our landfills:
  • Plastics, aluminum, glass, mixed paper and cardboard, electronic waste, compost and grey water
• Many valuable resources have been recovered
• Attendees have been educated about eco-product alternatives, composting and landfill diversion
• Almost 130,000 pounds of materials from the 2007 Chicago, DC and San Francisco events were diverted.

What does all this mean?
Last year the Washington D.C. Green Festival had amazing results:
Total Waste Collected: 15,500 pounds
Went to Landfill: 1,660 pounds
Reusable content: 13,840 pounds of reusable, recyclable and compostable materials.

What you can you do to help:

• Bring your own water bottle, plate and utensils
• Take only the materials you need
• Bring your e-waste to recycle
• Ride your bike or take public transportation and get $5 off Green Festival registration fee
• Spread the message—sustainable living is possible!
• And be sure to thank our volunteers!

Even small changes in your consumption can make a big difference!
