WOMAD water

WATER AT WOMAD

“Imagine a world without disposable bottles.” We believe water is a resource that should always be free! We’re also committed to doing out part to reduce the amount of waste that ends up going to landfill. The good news is, our water fountains are back for WOMAD 2018! You can either buy a reusable WOMAD drink bottle from the WOStore or WAI water stall (located in the Global Villge) for $5, or bring your own (non-glass) water bottle and fill up for free at one of the water fountains. In the mood for something a bit fancy? Sparkling water and filtered, chilled water is available at our WAI water stall at a cost of $2 per 500mLs.

Festival Tip: Look out for the tap images on the WOMAD Map – the black tap shows you where the free water fountains are located and the blue tap is our WAI water stall for premium water options.

CARBON CREDITS

We've been offsetting our carbon emissions since 2012 and have contributed to a number of initiatives including tree planting across Australasia and India. For 2018 we're offsetting our emissions solely in New Zealand and have partnered with Ekos to support the Rarakau Rainforest, located on Ma -ori land in the South Island. We buy carbon credits with Ekos to offset the festival's carbon footprint; this includes everything from waste, freight, electricity, accommodation, artist and stall holder travel, our merchandise and wristband manufacturing - even the cable ties we use!
