Doel: Sziget heeft dit jaar de handen ineen geslagen met Superar, om hen te steunen bij hun doel muziek over te brengen op kansarme kinderen.

Verder werkt Sziget samen met Superar om de impact en kracht van muziek(educatie) over te brengen op de samenleving. Naast muziek is er ook circus, theater, kunst, dans en straatartiesten.

Duurzaamheid: belangrijkste doelstelling van de Love revolution is het vergroten van miliebewustzijn en duurzaamheid. Ze gebruiken herbruikbare bekers, Green Sziget Center (klimaatinnovatie workshops), Szigethical Wear (merchandise), gratis fietsenstalling, groen douchen, drinkwaterkranen, energie efficiëntie, schone rivier, compost lab, duurzaamheidsrapport, recycling, tent meenemen naar huis, herbruikbare rietjes, pocket asbak, eetblok met milieubewuste leveranciers, drie recyclingcentra.

Toegankelijkheid: camping voor mindervaliden met mogelijkheid om een tent op te zetten, eenvoudige toegankelijke toiletten, toegankelijke douchefaciliteiten, informatiepunt.

We Love Green is driven to making a festival whereby today’s environmental issues lie at the heart. When creating and conceiving the plan for such an ephemeral event, they start from scratch, asking thereself the key question: “What resources do they have to hand, and what can they make with them?”

They want to raise plubic´s awareness of certain issues. In that way they want to change an impact on peoples habits.

They have planted 80,000 trees, 40,000 of which are planned in Uganda to restore wildlife. And 20,000 in Madagascar and Borneo.

On the Love Green website, viewers can calculate the emissions of traveling to a festival. They make a report of this every year. They make reuse of materials and energy (no fossil fuels). 95% use of LED light. Visitors can refill water for free, so they don't have to buy plastic bottles. This results in less plastic consumption. Others can also donate materials such as wood, paint, etc.

They have also donated 11,000 euros to charities.

Vision: “Green Sziget” sustainability program aims to achieve 50% recycling rate on waste.

Statement: One of Sziget’s main message is about environmental consciousness and sustainable development. In 2020, they put a lot of effort into fulfilling their goals and becoming greener and plan on continuing with this tradition next years. The Love Revolution, the community of Sziget, is their way of celebrating that they can achieve sustainable development and environmental awareness in people’s daily lives.

Best Practices:
- Superar - The project offers children and families a possibility to connect to public and cultural life of their city, establish connections to artists and their surroundings and be introduced to people and ideas that would otherwise not be accessible to them. The most important goal of Superar is to raise the perspectives of children for life, help them discover their potentials and further educational career.
- Green Sziget Center - Visitors were able to attend diverse workshops and performances. There were three Recycling centers at Sziget. The event welcomed the Climate KIC Alumni to hold climate innovation workshops.
- SzigEthical Wear - Their new merch, included Printed Organic Earthpositiv® T-Shirts with Plastic Free Ink, canvas bags, and BPA-free bottles.
- Fresh water points
- Collective Composting Map – A lab where it shows how the humus material and waste is being recycled and reused. In addition to the mobile compost, there was a 'visual lab' where the composting process was presented in a scientific way.
- Pocket ashtrays
- Recycling programs - tents, sleeping bags, and matts, were collected by volunteers and donated to charity organizations. This rid the area of around 150 cubic meters of waste.

Sustainability is a keyword for Way Out West and has been since our start in 2007. As a festival promoter and inhabitants of the earth, it’s our responsibility to raise these issues and strive to always be better. This is something we work with on a daily basis in all aspects of the festival.

Way Out West best sustainable practices:

-        First fully transparent festival in the world, meaning all the data for festival’s footprint is available for public use and visitors. DGTL does give some general percentage of waste or sustainability improvement, however, most of the visitors are still not fully aware of the footprint DGTL produces.

-        WOW talks. In addition to all the music and films, Way Out West also hosts inspiring on stage-discussions called WOW Talks, where sustainability in different forms is the basis for the conversations.

-        Since 2017, Way Out West has worked closely together with West Pride in order to stand up for human rights and join forces for a more inclusive society. Inspired by Way Out West, it could be a great idea for DGTL to partner with a bigger organisation that protects the rights of minorities.

Vision

A truly psychedelic global gathering of music, arts, culture & hands-on sustainability

Best practices

- Boom makes sure to give back to the community, one example of this is:

The Think Tank is an ideas lab located right in the heart of the festival. Its aim is to promote environmental innovation and encourage the exchange of ideas, as well as raising awareness of the biggest ecological issues around, to help us better understand our ever-changing world. And in order to achieve this, we hand the floor over to change makers such as iconoclastic thinkers, scientists, activists, artists, sociologists and other committed leading figures who will be leading round tables, conferences and even screenings.

There is no car parking at the festival site. This way the festival encourages you to use public transport but it is less accessible for people that come from far.

All stages are accessible for people with reduced mobility, Guide dogs are also welcome at the festival.

The festivalsite is also provided with a kids area during the weekend.

All the performers and artists will match their carbon emissions by funding local biodiversity conservation projects through the 100% fossil fuel free event, which this year will be powered by a solar farm and a hydrogen-powered generator prototype to create a memorable event in the most sustainable manner.

If we look at DGTL, they are more focusing on being sustainable at there festival. We Love Green Festival also focuses on sustainability outside of their festival. For example: the festival planted 80,000 trees – that’s the equivalent of one for each festivalgoer.

We Love Green Festival also collected 15,000 cigarettes butts and recycled. DGTL isn't focusing that much on collecting cigarettes butts.

Our research showed that We Love Green Festival is more focusing on the Social SGD than DGTL. For example, the We Love Green Festival distributed 2.600 unsold meals to charities. DGTL also recycle their unsold meals, but they not focusing on the social pillar which is also a SGD. DGTL composed their unsold meals.

We Love Green Festival is more direct in their way of communicating with their customer. On the festival there are no car parking facilities available. DGTL also promote that they prefer to come with your bike, but still you can come there with your car.
