New Year's Beach Celebration
With festival organizers taking steps towards a sustainable future, what can we, as festival-goers, do to reduce our impact on the festival sites and local nature?
Carpool or take ground transport to the festival.
Travel makes up 80% of a festival's carbon emissions. Use festival shuttles or take public transport to the festival.
Go paperless. Take advantage of e-ticket delivery when purchasing festival tickets. Use your phone to take photos or screenshots of the set times instead of getting paper programs. This year, we're minimizing printed materials as well. If you do use any paper, please recycle it in the bins provided.
Say no to straws. If you do need a straw, invest in a reusable metal one.
Use a reusable cup and/or bring a hydration pack.
Hydration backpacks are a great way to cut down on plastic usage. We'll also have reusable cups available!
Avoid single-use plastics. Bring a reusable shopping bag, ask food vendors to use reusable plates or containers, and invest in a reusable bamboo cutlery set. Bring biodegradable shampoo and soap in refillable containers, or better yet, use bar soap! Please use only eco-friendly materials in the showers.
Microplastics damage our environment. Use bio glitter or skip it entirely. Brush off all glitter before showering – remember, all drains lead to the sea.
Recycle and repurpose outfits.
The fashion industry is a major polluter. Consider buying second-hand outfits from marketplaces or buying clothes only from eco-conscious brands.
Use solar power
Invest in rechargeable solar lamps for your campsite. Charge your devices using a portable solar charger.
Sort and dispose of your garbage and recycling in the correct bins.
If you smoke, keep a portable ashtray with you at all times. Cigarette butts take years to decompose. Please also use the festival's showers and WCs, not the beach or festival grounds.
Take everything with you when leaving Sola Luna Festival! Pack up your tent, even if you don't need it anymore. Donate any unwanted camping equipment to our charity partner or take it a step further: volunteer to help clean up after the festival by contacting the production team!
A very limited amount of tickets are available – Grab yours before they sell out!
