Whenever possible, opt for public transport, carpool with friends, or cycle to the venue. Trains and buses produce significantly fewer emissions than solo driving, and many events now offer shuttle services to further reduce carbon output.
Ditch single-use plastics by bringing a reusable water bottle, cutlery, and coffee cup. Many events provide free water refill stations and allow reusable containers, helping to reduce waste at festivals and gigs.
Look for recycling bins at the event and make sure to dispose of your waste responsibly. If you’re camping, practice the principle of “leave no trace” by taking everything back with you. Support vendors that use minimal or eco-friendly packaging to further minimise waste.
When purchasing event merchandise, choose brands that offer sustainable options. Many artists and venues now provide eco-friendly alternatives made from recycled materials or ethically sourced fabrics.
For those looking to take their sustainability efforts a step further, SkootEco offers a simple way to offset the carbon footprint of your attendance. By planting trees and collecting ocean-bound plastic, you can contribute to restoring ecosystems and reducing carbon emissions.
