Come spend a zero waste weekend with our energy efficient policy.
NEW FIRE Festival Sustainability Principles
The Average Trinbagonian produces more than 2.5 KG of solid waste per day! Every year the average Trinbagonian produces more Carbon Dioxide than citizens from every country on earth except Qatar. Furthermore more we use more than 80% of the water we are able to produce annually, meaning that with a changing climate and growing population, the risk of water scarcity is extremely high! To survive we must change, seek out new ways of running our societies and economies, while At new Fire we challenge you to REDUCE, REUSE and SUSTAIN all for our collective future, in a clean, nurturing and exciting environment/atmosphere?
As a volunteer/ sponsor we ask that you:-
REDUCE – Reduce our impact on the environment by reducing the use of unnecessary packaging, foreign inputs, water, energy and transportation. Ultimately we want to reduce the production of Carbon dioxide and the rate at which we use our resources keeping the fire that defines our Trinbagonian nature.
REUSE – Collect any of the little waste produced effectively for reuse and where possible seek out recovered and recycled material for creative productive use, our dumps are full enough. SUSTAIN – Sustain and grow our local economies and ecosystems by supporting local business, farmers and sustainable industries, and learning new ways to reduce your impact personally at home! We must foster our ecosystems and economies now so they can sustain us later.
