Vanuatu Environmental Science Society shared World Vision Vanuatu's post.

More and more events organisers are considering their environmental impact and looking to minimise it. Well done Fest’Naupuan. Hopefully more events and meetings will be environmentally responsible.About Twelve thousand people who attended Fest'Napuan had access to separated waste stations set up by World Vision's "Waste Not Want Not' team which collected a total of 82 full 70 liter bags through the 4 days of the music festival! The public also had the opportunity to learn about waste management from the Australian government funded, waste management project team through messaging on stage, through a booth set up for public interaction and through volunteers at the waste stations to assist the public in making informed decisions about where to dispose waste.

Supporting the festivals theme of 'Lukaot gud envaeromen blo yumi' (Take good care of our enviroment), rubbish stations were set up in nine key locations, each station consisted of 4 different bags, designated for different waste items; compostable waste , tins and cans, plastic containers (with resin code 1,2 and 5) and general waste. From rubbish collected, 51 bags were general waste which were taken to local landfill and 31 bags were compostable waste which was provided to local non-profit organisation Wan Smolbag for composting purposes. A total of 751 tins and cans were collected for recycling at RecycleCorp Vanuatu and 975 plastic containers (with resin codes 1,2 & 5) were collected for recycling through the Pem Bak Plastik program.

Youth from the areas of Anamburu and Simbolo assisted the team throughout the event in line with the project focus to involve urban youth.
