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.
