Green Your Productions
1. Talk to incoming productions
Ask incoming productions what steps they are taking to reduce their environmental impact, and share your environmental policy and action plan with them.
Provide incoming productions with information about equipment available on-site or locally available.
2. Use greener, ethical merchandise
Choose merchandise products which have strong social and environmental credentials.
3. Engage your audiences
Choose a site with good public transport links and/or provide bus services to and from your venue around specific performance times. Incentives for coach and train travel and car sharing schemes are all good ways to bring down your audience travel footprint. Make this information easy to find through the website(s) promoting your festival and any marketing material.
Communicate environmental actions you’d like your audience to make, for example, incentivising the reuse of drinks cups and encouraging people to recycle.
