Schillchaos to Airbeat One: Who is cleaning up now?
Airbeat One was celebrated for five days, and the impressions are consistently positive: happy faces, spectacular fireworks and colorful memories adorn the reports from the festival visitors. But as so often, a big problem remains after celebrations: the garbage at the campsite. Many visitors were responsible and brought their waste to submission stations. Some even received a garbage deposit of ten euros for a half -filled garbage bag. Unfortunately there were also numerous campers that simply left tents, pavilions, cans and garbage bags. A mobile toilet was improperly left, which also tightened the situation. Events such as the Airbeat One try to promote tidying up with measures such as a garbage deposit and to organize the return of camping equipment that is passed on to the needy. The appeal for waste disposal should be viewed as common sense, because the dangers from garbage left behind should not be underestimated - not to mention forgotten tent parts that could cause the next group a lot of anger. Nordkurier reports that such problems often return on festival site and campsites.But what can be done against the flood of garbage? The answer is obvious: more and more festivals are relying on ecological improvements and environmental protection. Waste concepts are continuously developed, and the trend towards organic and regional products is also very popular. Shuttle services for arrival by public transport are now common almost everywhere, and beaker systems are becoming more from year to year. The Øya Festival in Oslo in particular deserves the title of one of the "greenest festivals worldwide".
tips for avoiding waste and zero waste
To protect the environment and minimize garbage, there are simple measures that every festival visitor can take. FM4 has put together some useful tips :
- Find out in advance: Clarification of rules for food, drinks and containers.
- water bottle: take a reusable bottle of stainless steel or BPA-free plastic.
- bag bag cup: make sure to dispose of cigarette stub in an environmentally friendly manner.
- reusable cup: You can avoid disposable cups with your own cup.
- cutlery and box: bring your own cutlery set and container to reduce garbage.
- organic glitter: only use compostable glitter.
- Festival Outfits: plan reusable costumes to avoid waste.
- tent: take your tent with you after the festival or repair it.
To go one step further, the Zero Waste e.V. is involved and offers workshops and interactive lectures. These events provide information on how to celebrate and combine environmental protection. The Zero Waste Verein shows sustainable alternatives and explains the five principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and Red. It is also referred to the importance of using unpacked snacks and multi-way tanks to further reduce the waste amount.
With these approaches, there is nothing in the way of a carefree festival period, which also protects the environment. Celebration can be so much more conscious and more beautiful!
