SIGNAGE AND EDUCATION

Putting together a more sustainably run event is a fantastic outcome for any organiser. However, achieving this goal comes hand in hand with letting your patrons, the general public and the wider community know you have done so. 

This serves a number of different purposes. Firstly in our experience a well-informed staff and audience achieve best outcomes in sustainability. Waste streams will be cleaner, patrons will be more conscious of the water they use and your sustainability systems will perform better. 

Secondly many elements of your sustainability processes wont just be relevant at the festival. Events have the potential to access a huge audience and these messages have a huge knock on effect. The good seeds you plant at the festival will send shoots into your audiences every day lives and helps us all to build more environmentally and socially resilient and sustainable communities.

Informative signage is a critical factor to success and should be a focus. Keep it clear and concise, with no mixed messages. Catchy phrases help people remember messages...who can forget the slogan 'do the right thing put it in the bin', 25 years after it was first used to educate the public on better waste management!
