    The events in Tartu County are growing greener

    Several events in Southern Estonia participated in the pilot program of the Green Festival in the spring and summer in 2021. The aim of the program is to provide support activities for event organizers to help them organize their events in a more environmentally friendly way and to create a green plan. Now than most of the activities of the Green Festival pilot program have been completed, it can be said that any type of events can be organized in a more sustainable and greener way, regardless of the location or the purpose of the event.
