All energy, mobility, transport, catering, materials, accommodation and waste consumption of the event will be monitored, recorded and translated into Co2eq emissions.
The energy used for the event comes from 100% renewable sources.
We adopt a plastic-free policy, preferring consumables with a lower environmental impact. To further reduce emissions, almost exclusively rented furniture is used and local suppliers from Rome and Lazio are chosen.
RVGL22 limits paper advertising as much as possible and uses recycled paper.
The catering menu is predominantly vegetarian, with washable or fully compostable service, and surplus food is recovered and donated to non-profit organizations.
At the end of the event, residual emissions, i.e. those that could not be avoided, will be compensated through certified environmental protection projects.
The public will find smart waste bins, which are able to recognize the waste inside them and record waste disposal errors. This is thanks to NANDO, a sensor that also takes photos inside the litter bins to constantly monitor them. Thanks to artificial intelligence, Nando is able to work out whether the waste in the bin is correct and produce reports on the quantity and quality of the waste produced.
But to really change the 'rules of the game' requires above all the commitment of our public. Here are some simple rules:
- To come to the Festival, use the metro, which also provides a discount on the entrance fee
- Bring a water bottle that can be filled on site
- Pay attention to waste separation
And last but not least, we invite you to attend workshops and talks, and try out video games about sustainability and climate change.
