Greening The Architecture and the City Festival

Hosting a festival in San Francisco reminds us all of the importance of minimizing our carbon footprint.
We are working diligently to decrease our emissions, divert our waste, and offset our impact. With your help we can do even better this year!

Reducing emissions
• All ticket-buyers will be able to offset their CO2 emissions by opting to pay an extra $1 when they buy their tickets. All money collected in this way will go towards renewable energy and reforestation programs through Carbonfund.org.
• Check out 511.org to travel throughout the city by bus, foot, bike, BART, and MUNI.  Please utilize these links to further reduce your own carbon footprint.

Reducing Waste
• All printed materials are on recycled paper.
• Recycled napkins, paper towels, and toilet paper throughout event locations.
• Compostable plastic cups and utensils.
• Recycle all bottles and cans.
• Waste reclamation stations with clearly marked compost, recycling and trash bins will be stationed at various festival event locations.
• All leftover food will be brought to local shelters in San Francisco.

Help Keep the Festival Clean!
• Carpool whenever possible or take public transportation whenever possible.
