WATER

This year's event theme is water.  Challenge yourself to think about water quality, conservation and consumption.  What's your impact?  What can change?  Grey water systems, water-conserving appliances and rain barrels are just a few ideas.  Did you know that it takes up to 5 liters of water to produce a 1 liter disposable plastic bottle of water?  Think about it!  Make a difference!  Oh, and don't forget your reusable water containers--fill up at our FREE, ZERO-WASTE FILLING STATION!


 

ADOPT A RECYCLING STATION!
$50.00 Donation

Hand-made Recycling Stations will be located throughout the festival to teach everyone how to separate trash from compostables and recyclables.  Show your support by putting your name on a Recycling Station today.  Let's show Philly how easy event recycling can be!
