Travel
Travel is often the biggest source of carbon emissions from music festivals, accounting for 68% to 80% of a festival’s total carbon footprint (Research Gate).
Public transit releases the fewest carbon emissions, AND you can make other festival friends on your way. Google and Apple Maps has a public transport route generator 🚊
Carpooling or ordering Uber/Lyft Green are the next best choices 🚗
Flying releases the most carbon emissions ✈️ You can oftentimes offset your flight’s associated carbon emissions. Check which offset projects your Airline supports here.

Acknowledge & Respect
Acknowledge
As you prepare to travel to music festivals, it’s important to recognize that these events take place on Indigenous land 🌅 Acknowledging and respecting the land and its original caretakers is a meaningful step toward honoring the past, present, and future of Indigenous communities ❤️ Land acknowledgments serve as a way to celebrate Native nations as enduring stewards of the land we gather on.
Before you arrive, research📱
- The Indigenous people to whom the land belongs
- The native language spoken here
- The land’s history
And when doing your land acknowledgement 🗣️
- Use past, present, and future tenses — Indigenous people are still thriving!
- Focus on the positivity of who Indigenous people are today
- Aim to inspire others to take donating time and/or money to the land’s Native nation’s

Respect
As you immerse yourself in the magic of the festival 🎶 take a moment to reflect on this land not being ours, but rather a gift, a legacy, and a responsibility. Let’s honor it by treading lightly, leaving no trace, and treating it with the respect it deserves 🌱
Remind your friends that protecting this land is a shared duty.
Together, we can celebrate not only the music but also the sacred ground that makes it all possible 💜
