The first annual OKGreenfest is an arts and music festival that brings together music fans, local artists, and environmental awareness. In conjunction with Earth Day, the festival is a great opportunity to not only entertain, but also educate and inform music fans on ways we can all reduce our “carbon footprint.” Space will be provided to showcase both local non-profits that focus on greening issues and vendors selling green products. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to local greening efforts and to local organizations helping families in need.

At OKGreenfest, we are focusing our efforts on doing our part to be green by implementing lots of small changes. We are committed to this effort by being a “carbon neutral” event. We plan to accomplish this goal by:

• Using biodiesel in every generator on festival grounds. This improves air quality by reducing carbon monoxide emissions, particulate matter emissions, and other carcinogens.
• Offering more organic, locally grown choices by backstage catering ops and food vendors. We require all food to be served on paper or compostable plates. We will also be encouraging hand-held food choices and requiring all food areas to use toxic-free cleansers.
• Recycling water bottles and drink cups.
• Not allowing any Styrofoam on festival grounds.
• Using recycled paper from toilet paper and food napkins to marketing materials. We will also be recycling cardboard and replacing paper hand towels with hand sanitizer.

Stay tuned to this site for details, we'll be filling in the subpages over the next few days and updating it regularly. Thanks for stopping by!
