About the Festival Coalition
Festivals hold a unique place in the life of downtown London especially in Victoria Park.
The Coalition for the 'Greening of the Festivals' came together with members of Waste Free World, Festival representatives, and representatives from City of London Parks and Recreation, Event Management and Waste Management. Together, this group met with suppliers, vendors, and others to determine what steps could be taken for Year One, recognizing that some festivals had already been active in green initiatives. The Festival Coalition hopes efforts from 2008 will help inform practical policies for future festivals in the Forest City.
50% reduction in amount of garbage sent to landfill from all Victoria Park Festivals.
Elimination of Styrofoam and plastic food and beverage containers
