Ethics
| Environmental Statement
Our ideal is to become a biodynamic event, in the sense of working in harmony with our environment, by sustainably managing our waste and fuel requirements, and minimising our impact on the site. We aim for this event to become 'carbon neutral', or even carbon negative!
Composting Toilets
We aim to have fully functioning composting toilets installed on the
site by May 2007. We are researching different designs, methods of
construction and possible sources of funding.
Recycling
We aim to recycle at least 70% of waste produced during the
event, and would eventually like to see this increase to 100%.
We are currently liasing with the local council and other agencies
with regard to this.
Power
We aim for the event to be fully powered by on-site, renewable
energy sources within the next 5 years. We see this as an ongoing
process which is very much dependent on the available technology
and resources. We are currently researching available technologies
and possible sources of funding / revenue.
Site
We have an agreement with the landowner that we will respect
the site, and endeavour to make improvements to the site, which
are mutually beneficial to GVPG and the landowner. We do a certain
amount of voluntary work each year, to help manage and enhance the
site in general.
