Fresh Green

Printed Material

In 2007, Bumbershoot limited the number of Festival programs printed for on-site distribution by 50%, reduced the program size by 60%, therefore using 80% less paper.

This year, we’re reducing the size of the advance brochure (including a schedule and map) and printing a smaller quantity. This reduction equates to a 28% reduction in paper used for the 2008 brochures.

Our Festival programs and brochures are printed on FSC-certified mixed sources paper coming from well-managed forests, controlled sources and recycled wood or fiber.

FSC-certified

Forest Stewardship Council is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world’s forests. Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.

Eco Extra: According to a 2005 report released by the Brazilian Environmental Ministry, loggers, ranchers, and farmers in the Amazon rainforest cleared over 10,000 square miles—roughly the size of Massachusetts—of rainforest during a 12-month span.
