We have partnered with Climate Network Lanark (CNL) this year to collect, sort and separate compostable and recyclable material.
Keeping the SPF green thanks to the volunteers at Climate Network Lanark
One of our favourite things about the Stewart Park Festival is our beautiful park setting—that’s why it’s important to us to keep the event as sustainable as possible. For the 4th year running, we are thrilled to partner with Climate Network Lanark (CNL) to help guide our sustainable event practices.
Last year, CNL welcomed 45 dedicated volunteers to manage an expanded presence. Thanks to their incredible hard work and your cooperation, we redirected virtually all festival waste—diverting over 500 lbs away from the landfill!
This year, CNL superstar volunteers will be back in the park all weekend to help you sort your food waste, containers, cans, bottles, paper, and general garbage at the Green Waste and Recycling Stations. You can find them near the main path in the park or in the Market Square.
While visiting the stations, you can learn more about the grassroots climate action that Climate Network Lanark does year-round, or you can visit their website at www.climatenetworklanark.ca. Let’s see what we can achieve together this year!
Did you know?
Food waste in the anaerobic environment of a landfill creates methane. Methane is a portent greenhouse gas with 86 times more global warming potential than Carbon Dioxide over a 20 year period! Keeping biodegradables out of your garbage is simple and worthwhile.
