                    ​Examples of sustainable events

                    • Melbourne Fashion Week 2018
                    • Key features: carbon neutral, venues close to public transport, easy bike access, paperless ticketing, reusable cups, zero straws, improved recycling.
                    • Sydney Festival
                      Key features: vision to be the most sustainable performing arts festival​

                      Key features: a range of environmental initiatives, including incorporating environmentally themed talks into their programs 
                    • Sustainival
                      Key features: early events were plug-in installations where they took a dozen or more renewable-powered rides to larger events; now full-scale Sustainival events are working with local champions to create exhilarating interactive exhibits so that people can learn more about what is already happening in their back yard and how they can get involved.
