How can you help
1. Travel
Did you know that 80% of festival emissions come from audience travel? That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to choose low-emission transport options when heading to Hylands Park. Every eco-friendly choice helps reduce the festival’s environmental impact so let’s make your journey part of the solution!
· If you can walk, ride a bike or scooter to the festival site then you can burn off some of your pre show energy and contribute zero carbon emissions!
2. Refill your water bottle
Please bring a reusable water bottle with you and fill up for free at the water stations. Stay hydrated, save money and prevent waste!
3. Eating at Radio 2 in the Park
Food production is responsible for nearly 30% of global emissions, but plant-based meals create 2.5 times fewer emissions than those containing meat. At Radio 2 in the Park all food menus are carbon rated using a 5-tier system and this simple rating allows you to see the impact and emissions associated.
We’re proud to offer a fantastic range of food vendors across the event, with many coming from the Essex area to keep things local! Every trader will serve at least one plant based main menu option, to ensure there is an amazing variety of choice for everyone. Plus, all serveware is compostable - from wooden cutlery to stirrers - so you can enjoy your meal sustainably.
4. Fancy a drink at Radio 2 in the Park
We will operate a returnable cup scheme system – this system encourages the reuse of cups to minimizing waste. We will share more details closer to the event including details all of the options available to help you plan your day at Radio 2 In the Park.
5. Recycle
We have increased the number of waste and recycling points to make it even easier for you to support us with this! We are encouraging festivalgoers to keep Radio 2 in the Park tidy by using the three bins available.
· Mix Recycling bins – For all dry recyclable waste.
· Compostable Waste – for food all food serveware.
· General Waste - All other waste.
