Hi. I clipped the information below on The Winnipeg Folk Festival A "Green" Event from the Eco-Buyer Catalogue. The Eco-Buyer Catalogue lists companies and products that have meet the criteria for the Eco-Logo stamp of approval. Products and services include cleaning, office supply, paper, hotels, construction, etc. For more information about this catalogues and the criteria they use to rate products, etc. check out http://www.EnvironmentalChoice.com It would be great to see more festivals, events and meetings in Atlantic Canada run with these principles in mind. For information on running wasteless conference or meetings contact Clean Nova Scotia at 1-800-665-LESS in NS outside NS call 902-420-3474. We all can make a difference for ourselves and to educate others but having simple things like re-usable cups at meetings and double-siding reports, grant-proposals, a thesis, minutes, etc. - it still looks professional. "WINNIPEG FOLK FESTIVAL Contact., Linda Freed Telephone: (204) 231-0096 Fax: (204) 231-0076 Internet: Address: 264 Tache Avenue Winnipeg, MB R2H 1 Z9 http://www.wpgfolkfest.mb.ca Set-vice. Special Event Description: The Winnipeg Folk Festival is an internationally acclaimed music event for artists from around the world, for audiences averaging 30,000 people annually. We are EcoLogo certified as the first "green" even in Canada, which verifies that we are making efforts toward environmental management in the following ways: sorting and composting food wastes; sorting and recycling containers; employing reusable signage; using recycled and recyclable paper for printed materials; using recycled toilet paper and compostable garbage bags; leaving the site free of fitter after the event, including cigarette butts; providing public transportation to and from the site (35 kilometres from the city), and more. Beverages are only served in reusable cups (except in the Tavern). Reusable plates are used by Food Court vendors, requiring a $2 deposit with food purchase. This deposit is refunded at the Plates Return Depot. Every year we seek new ways to be environmentally responsible, receiving suggestions from audience, volunteers and staff, before we ascertain our goals for the coming year." _________________________________ Rochelle Owen Community Animation Program 16th Floor, Queen Square 45 Alderney Drive Dartmouth, N.S.
