Preserving the outside & leaving no trace behind
Wonderfruit: the Festival That Tries to Save the Planet, One Beat At A Time
Why the name isn’t just a pretty façade
Wonderfruit doesn’t just toss the phrase “socially and environmentally responsible” around like a party favor. The ideas of sustainability and responsibility stitch the festival’s entire quilt—its concerts, stalls, and even its nap music are woven around a single mantra: stay green.
Challenges? We’ve Got ‘Em. And the Wandering Suns??
- Every season, Wonderfruit hand‑picks a set of sustainability goals. They hand the baton to attendees and organisers alike, challenging everyone to move those planet‑friendly drums a little faster.
- From turning coffee shells into tiny seed‑beds to creating foot traffic designed to reduce foot‑prints, the festival’s action plan is clear: do a little more, waste a lot less.
Waste‑Free Wonderland
The festival is sprinkling its grounds with recycling and composting bins in every corner. The result? A staggering over 95% of all festival waste stays out of landfills. Spoiler: the compost bins are the real MVPs.
Carbon Off‑sets & Bottle‑Less Nickname
- Carbon footprints get their own set of off‑sets—a little “green” balancing act that keeps the planet in check.
- Bye‑bye, single‑use plastic! Wonderfruit is swapping out the plastic blow‑gun with more eco‑friendly alternatives, so every bottle, coffee cup, and snack wrapper sings a different, less harmful tune.
All in all, Wonderfruit isn’t just a music spectacle; it’s a living, breathing reminder that a better future can be as memorable as the best bass drop.
