Reduce<\/h2>

Our main focus has been on waste, the main environmental problem for festivals. The most important thing is reducing waste generation.<\/strong><\/p>

In the near future we would like to tackle the issue of wasting food.<\/strong> Ligikaudu 1\/3 kogu maailmas inimeste jaoks toodetud toidust visatakse \u00e4ra, millest piisaks 3 miljardile inimesele. Seda vett, mida kasutatakse \u00e4ravisatud toidu tootmiseks, saaks kasutada 9 miljardit inimest, umbes 200 liitrit inimese kohta p\u00e4evas. Kui toidukadu oleks riik, oleks see suuruselt kolmas kasvuhoonegaaside tootja p\u00e4rast Hiinat ja USA-d.\u00a0J\u00e4\u00e4tmeteket on v\u00f5imalik v\u00e4hendada v\u00e4ga mitmel viisil; meie senini suurima m\u00f6juga tegevused on loetletud allpool.<\/p>

Real tableware<\/strong><\/p>

In 2019 we did something that has never been seen before in the festival scene in Estonia \u2013 we introduced real dishes to our guests. An NGO that puts used things back in circulation, MT\u00dc Uuskasutuskeskus,<\/a>jumped on board and lent us nearly 1000 dinnerware sets. For renting and washing the dishes we set up a station and deposit system and used eco-friendly dishwashing soap called Mulieres\u2019<\/a>And just like that we also banned biodegradable dishes for good, because in reality they are still single-use items.<\/p>

Cup circle (Topsiring)<\/strong><\/p>

Since the beginning of the festival we have used durable reusable cups. We have a deposit system in place for that, just like with the dishes. This is also a way to take care of our planet because by doing that we prevent the use of about 60, 000 single-use cups in four days (if one person drinks about 3 drinks) \u2013 that\u2019s an immense amount.<\/p>

A festival free of bottled water\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Our guests have always had an option to drink tap water for free or buy bottled sparkling or still water from the bars. But since 2021 we use only tap water and the sparkling water is delivered in reusable containers. By doing that we prevent approximately 65,000 disposable 0.5 litre water bottles from being used during our 4-day event. In February of 2020 we joined the global BYOBottle campaign initiated by the music industry. BYOBottle<\/a> kampaaniaga.<\/p>

Plastic straw free festival<\/strong><\/p>

We don\u2019t serve drinks with plastic straws. If the guest really-really wants it, they can ask for a hollow pasta-straw or buy a straw made of reed from Saaremaa. Both of these are later composted. We calculated that we\u2019ll avoid using around 10,000 \u2013 15,000 single-use plastic straws by doing that.<\/p>

Print-free festival<\/strong><\/p>

We don\u2019t print posters, flyers or festival programmes. Ever. Instead we use different online mediums and the power of word-to-mouth to get our message out. There aren\u2019t any roll-ups or printed banners at our festival site, either. We prevent 2,500 units of paper from being produced by not printing 500 posters, 1,000 flyers and 1,000 program sheets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

V\u00e4hendamineMeie p\u00f6hifookus on olnud suunatud j\u00e4\u00e4tmetele, festivalide peamisele keskkonnaprobleemile. Olulisim on: kuidas saame j\u00e4\u00e4tmeteket v\u00e4hendada?L\u00e4hiaja plaan on algatada tegevusi, mis aitavad v\u00e4hendada toidu kadu. Ligikaudu 1\/3 kogu maailmas inimeste jaoks toodetud toidust visatakse \u00e4ra, millest piisaks 3 miljardile inimesele.
