Are you a family person?

By Simela P.

Family vacations are among the most significant
contributors to most households’ yearly carbon
emissions. Most of the festivals mentioned in the
previous section are also family-friendly!
Shambala, Latitude, and Green gathering festivals
are among these.

CHOOSE TO BE
SUSTAINABLE.

The impacts of festivals
held in greenfield regions
are the same as those of

a small town. However,
since the consequences of
climate change are now
more thoroughly exam-
ined, some festivals try to
lessen those impacts.
Many music festivals have
introduced environmen-
tally friendly policies and
innovative activities to
their programs through-
out the years, which can
influence visitor be-
haviour and communicate
a “green message.”
However, the participa-
tion of the attendees is
essential to the program’s
overall success. Some

people believe that going
to an eco-friendly fes-
tival rather than staying
home is a more sustain-
able choice because of the
huge impact these festi-
vals can have on attend-
ees and how their per-
spectives may change.
sreenWave encourag-
es you to think about the
festival's negative im-
pacts, be aware of the
efforts being made, and
do what you can to have a
more sustainable society.
Once you become a mem-
ber of GreenWave, the
amount of work you do to
help the environment will
increase.
