Awareness

With the goal of promoting eco-responsible habits among festival-goers, FLN launched its “Be Ecofestive!” campaign in 2023. The aim is to demonstrate that everyone is in a position to do their part and make the event greener. Whether it’s choosing active transportation, bringing your reusable water bottle or sorting waste into the right bins, every little action makes a BIG change.

The Green Team is also mandated to circulate on site, encouraging participants to adopt good eco-responsible habits. Don’t hesitate to ask them any questions you may have – they’re there for you!
