The Environment
As members of the community, Ottawa Festivals members have made efforts to become more green and make a minimal impact on the environment. Many festivals have introduced exended recycling programs, ride sharing, event-specific public transportation options and carbon offsetting strategies.
Resources to become more green:
- Zero Footprint Ottawa
In cooperation with the City of Ottawa, Zerofootprint, a not-for-profit organization engages communities around climate change, and pursues opportunities that uphold values of economic development, risk management, research and advocacy.
- Pickup Pal
An eco-rideshare program that matches drivers and passengers to help reduce the carbon footprint.
- Green Ottawa
Green Ottawa is a gateway to everything green and sustainable in Ottawa-Gatineau and the National Capital Region. It’s a starting point for connecting with green-minded people, places, organizations and opportunities across the region.
- Environmental Expert
