Cork County Council, IE paves way for sustainable events with the Green Festivals Pilot Programme
Cork County Council, IE Green Festivals Pilot Programme
The pilot offers support and training by Native Events for three summer festivals. Event staffers learn how to improve recycling habits and minimize waste. The Green Festivals Pilot Programme connects organizers with sustainable infrastructure like electronic ticketing and multi-use food containers. Participants also learn how to reduce paper waste with online promotions rather than printed posters. Council leaders will use experiences from the pilot across 60 annual festivals.
