Did you know…when it comes to the Air Festival, it’s not the plane fuel that contributes to the impact of carbon emissions but, believe it or not, it’s actually cars and the way people travel to and from the event. The 2021 Air Festival saw a push for sustainability, encouraging festival goers to choose an alternative way to travel to the event.
SUSTAINABLE FACT: If 1-in-3 people changed how they travelled to the festival over the four days we could save a massive 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year for the next three years.
Instead of piling in the car, we’re asking people to consider travelling by train, jumping on a bike or bus or walking to the event. Small changes like that can make such a difference!
