WE B GREEN IS THE WAY TO GO
THINK BEFORE YOU THROW
Soo Pass Ranch WE B Green Special Event Recycling Program
We want future generations of WE Fest'ers to enjoy the same beautiful lakes, woods and prairies that make the Soo Pass Ranch special, so we are asking you to help us save the planet-one recyclable at a time.
WE B Green is an audience friendly recycling program aimed at reducing the amount of landfill waste generated by events at the Soo Pass Ranch, through increased recycling.
Join our WE B Green Team and See WE Fest For FREE: July 31- August 5, 2011
Do you really want to enjoy the festival camping experience, like to get to know your neighbors, want to see the music and help save the planet? Join or organize a WE B Green team for the week consisting of 14 responsible individuals, also known as a group of friends that enjoy hanging out and working together. The goal of the team is to have FUN, while helping other people properly dispose of their waste at WE Fest. Your team would be assigned a specific campground where you would meet and greet your fellow campers by walking around and identifying campsites that need help setting up recycling stations AND rewarding the campsites that are doing a good job with a chance to Win VIP Tickets to next years WE Fest.
All Volunteers receive camping permits, concert tickets, and WE B Green t-shirts in exchange for helping us. Plus you arrive Tuesday before the festival so you can get your campsite set-up early. If you would like to volunteer or for more information, please e-mail your full name, address, phone number and email address to David Larson at david@arvig.net or call 218-234-6253.
The WE B Green program
The long term goal of the WE B Green Special Event Recycling Program is to achieve a recycling rate of 50%, and to replicate these efforts at special events statewide. Toward that end, FACE Inc., with funding from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, has developed a WE B Green instructional DVD, with companion handbook, that will be distributed free of charge to other special events. Material for the DVD was filmed at the Soo Pass Ranch, focusing on advanced planning, building and operating campground recycling stations, as well as stage announcements and audience education. For additional information, or to request a WE B Green Special Event Recycling DVD and Handbook, please send your request to WE B Green, FACE Inc., P.O. Box 1227, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501. or CONTACT David Larson FACE, Inc. 218-847-1691 David@arvig.net
Reduce
Being green means you reduce the amount of packaging and items you bring to the festival. Pack reusable dishes, cups and silverware instead of plastic and styrofoam items. When purchasing items make sure they are in recyclable packaging. Recycle all aluminum, plastic, glass, metal, cardboard, paper and food waste you can.
Recycle
Help us keep clean by depositing you're recycling at one of our We B Green recycling stations, bring FOOD WASTE to the We B Green Stations and we will compost it.
Curbside Pick-Up
You can just leave the bags on the curb when they are filled and our curbside pick-up team will remove them or you can take the bags to a recycling station and receive We B Green Bucks for a chance to Win Tickets to next year's show.
Concert Bowl Recycling
When in the Concert Bowl look for We B Green Stations to bring your Plastic Bottles and Aluminum cans to. Help us reduce the amount of Trash from the plastic cups by purchasing a reusable Mug and using it all weekend.
