Awareness

With the goal of promoting eco-responsible habits among festivalgoers, FLN launched its “Be Ecofestive!” campaign in 2023. The goal is to demonstrate that everyone can to do their part to make the event greener. Whether by choosing active transportation, bringing a reusable water bottle or sorting waste into the right bins, every little action makes a BIG difference.

The Green Team is also on-site to encourage participants to adopt sustainable habits. Feel free to ask them any questions– they’re there for you!
