Green Your Festival
Galway city is world famous for its festivals and events. Prior to organising, you should have a think about the waste you will produce, the energy you will consume and the water you will use, and how you might manage these effectively.
Consider a resource pack to get you started, which is available on www.greenyourfestival.ie or by contacting the Environment Education Officer on environment@galwaycity.ie.
