Our EcoBound commitments are designed to make the festival Carbon Neutral and include: a Tree-per-Ticket policy, an Optional Green Fee, making the festival completely Carbon Neutral, re-introducing Green Money, keeping Southbound beautiful with assistance from Keep Australia Beautiful, utilising Bio-Diesel and Green Energy, reintroducing the Green Team, expanding on our Recycling Stations, purchasing carbon credits to offset our carbon footprint, facilitating and encouraging Car Pooling and Bus Transport, offering Solar Powered Mobile Phone Recharge Stations, facilitating a wide-variety of Environmental Groups with Eco Stalls, exhibiting art made from recycled goods and more! We’ll also be employing Eco Productions to conduct a full audit of the 2009 festival.
