Inspiring sustainable behaviours through local festivals and events

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Congratulations to @FirebugBar for receiving the award for the Greenest Venue in this year's @LeicsComedyFest ! They've done it again! Thank you to @uniofleicester for so much support in assessing the award entries!

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

It's true! There are so many options available now, some of them are delicious in coffee!

We should all try plant based milk at least once you will be surprised how nice it tastes. Hope this catches on @Re_FIESTA #plantbased #milk #shambalafest

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

@LeicesterRefill Ah brilliant so the best thing is to download your app? Great I'll do it immediately, thanks for your hard work!

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

@visit_leicester do you hold any information about places in the centre that we can fill up reusable water bottles please?

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

@SustransEMids @visit_leicester @LeicesterRefill Ah perfect thank you for the reminder <3
@LeicesterRefill do you have a handy list we can share please?

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Interesting move! Let us know your thoughts, could any of Leicester's events take a bold move like this?

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

What a huge win, Glastonbury banning single use plastics! The tide is turning! Look forward to seeing or local festivals following suit!

[onboard:earth @onboardearth]

Great to see @GlastoFest joining the war on single-plastics at events - banning plastic bottles for 2019 - along with trailblazers @ShambalaFest https://t.co/TD55k9TPzU

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

The amazing people at @ShambalaFest sure are blazing the zero-emissions trail for us all to follow!

[TheFestivals @TheFestivalsUK]

In a world's first, @ShambalaFest will ban all cars, lorries, vans and buses from the event.💚 #Sustainability

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

[Firebug @FirebugBar]

In the next few weeks we're trialling some new biodegradable lamination on our recycled card menus, conventional lamination doesn't degrade and can't be recycled.

I expect if this petition began again now it would attract a lot more than 40k signatures. Time to go again?

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Just one of several brands offering alternatives to disposable cups at festivals. Look forward to seeing more of these at Leicester's events!

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Great to have a good example set by one of the biggest festivals! If they can do it at Glastonbury...

[Philippa Anderson @PhilippaAnde]

Good news from @Glastonbury! ⁦@KeepBritainTidy⁩ Glastonbury festival bans sale of single-use bottles | News | The Times https://t.co/2YmR7iZZoU

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Great example of what a difference it can make when a community gets behind a campaign!

[Plastic Free Newquay @PlasticFreeNQ]

It’s OFFICIAL!

We’re stoked to announce to that Newquay has been awarded the official status of ‘Plastic Free Community’ by Surfer’s Against Sewage.

It’s down to the hard work, effort and support of each and every one of you that made this happen!

So THANK YOU 💙

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

Great stuff! The tide is finally changing!

[ReFiesta Leicester @Re_FIESTA]

This is a myth that needs busting! Tents and camping equipment are not disposable! And festivals rarely make use of them if left behind. Instead they mostly go to landfill.
