A GREEN GRIN
PROGRAMM
Thanks to music, theater, dances, meetings and food, the Grin is a place where for a few days it is possible to celebrate life, understood as not only cultural but also environmental biodiversity: the profound respect for the fragile ecosystem is realized through a conscious path towards Zero Waste and the experimentation of new aggregative models that consider the reduction of our ecological footprint a priority. The path is in progress, constantly evolving, perfectible and open to new stimuli and suggestions.Here are the main points of this edition:- Reduction of separate waste collection centers;
- Adoption of some dry compost-toilets, from which our physiological waste will be exploited;
- Invitation to participants to bring their own non-disposable crockery;
- Possibility of receiving non-disposable crockery (deposit of 5.-);
- Presence of a dish washing area; Adoption of designer cloth napkins produced by the Treebu project (https://progettotreebu.ch/), a socio-educational project for the reintegration of young people who have interrupted their educational path.
