GREEN THE WAY

LET’S GREEN THE WAY
The dlr Festival of World Cultures is committed to making the Festival a greener experience for all. Being environmentally responsible is more important than ever in the world we live in today. With attendance figures of up to 250,000 in 2010 we are asking all Festival attendees to help the Festival team in our efforts to green the Festival.
So c’mon lets green the way….

Green Actions in place over the Festival weekend will include:


WASTE & RECYCLING
General waste bins and recycling bins (plastic, paper, cardboard and aluminium cans) will be in place all around the Festival site along with bottle banks where you can dispose of any glass bottles, and we encourage you to make use of these. There will also be a dedicated recycling area at Newtownsmith Green where cans, bottles, cardboard, paper and plastics can be disposed of responsibly.
In addition to this, 60 litter pickers will be in action over the Festival weekend with half of them solely concentrating on disposing of recyclable ware. Please make their job easier – pick up and dispose of your own rubbish in the appropriate recycling bin!

GETTING HERE THE GREEN WAY
Thanks to Dublin Bus and the DART, extra services including a special late night ‘Night Link’ bus will be provided over the Festival weekend. These extensive public transport services that Dún Laoghaire has on offer are in place to encourage you to arrive the green way. Whether by train, bus, on foot or by bicycle – A little effort can make all the difference.

TRADERS
The Festival has requested that all vendors participating in the Festival use bio disposable products in an attempt to lower the Festival’s carbon footprint.

FESTIVAL SIGNAGE
The Festival team likes to get the most out of everything and that includes the Festival signage. A concentrated effort is made to use and reuse all signage wherever possible, year after year. In 2010 we are still making use of signage that was produced in 2003!
