By integrating eco-conscious practices into various aspects of our event, we aim to minimize waste, lower carbon emissions, and promote ecological awareness. From using sustainable travel options to eliminating single-use plastics and offering larger capacities of plant-based catering, we advocate environmental responsibility through thoughtful decision-making and effective initiatives.

If you can&#8217;t avoid travelling by plane, skip the solo ride and choose a shared shuttle to and from the airport. Not only will you be helping cut down on travel\u2019s environmental impact, but you&#8217;ll also save some money for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">merch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Win-win!

It&#8217;s the perfect way to leave the car behind and lower your carbon footprint. When entering the bus don&#8217;t forget to scan your wristband.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Pedal your way through Ljubljana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: In Slovenia, we love bikes!
