Help us go Green

All of us at Art & Soul are committed to making this a world-class, eco-friendly event.

Help us go Green by composting your food service items. All food vendors will be using compostable plates, cups and utensils. When you dispose of your items in the compost bins, you help us take a bite out of the landfill.

Recycling and composting stations will be conveniently located near food courts and throughout the event. Each station will contain three bins: one for compostable items; one for recyclable items such as cardboard, bottles and cans; and one bin for items destined for the landfill.

Last year, we were able to recycle and compost 83% of the festival's waste! More than 15 tons of waste was diverted from the landfill through festival goers' use of compost and recycle bins.

With your help we can make the 2010 festival even more green.
