[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Never heard of zero waste living?<\/span><\/p>\n

Put simply, zero waste = living without generating refuse that the ecosystem does not naturally and easily put to good use. When we send nothing to the landfill, we\u2019re doing it right!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The zero waste principle means means consuming only what you need. Aim to Reduce what you need, reuse it as many times as possible and Recycle whatever is left. Composting is the way we recycle organic refuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As an NFF guest, we ask that you:<\/span><\/p>\n

REDUCE<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reduce our negative impact on the environment by reducing the use of unnecessary packaging, foreign material inputs, water, energy and transportation. Ultimately we want to reduce the production of Carbon Dioxide and the rate at which we consume our limited natural assets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

REUSE<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Collect any of the little waste produced at the festival for safe reuse ensuring that we get maximum use out of the valuable finite material resources we extract from the earth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RECYCLE<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wherever possible, seek out ways to capture all inorganic material by-product refuse to be reprocessed into new raw materials. Our dumps are full enough!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUSTAIN <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Sustain and grow our local economies and ecosystems by supporting our artisans, local business, farmers and sustainable industries. We must foster our environment now so they can support us later.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be good to yourself, others and the planet by following our guidelines for zero waste at NFF:<\/span><\/p>\n
