How we’re tackling travel impacts & funding environmental restoration with onboard:earth
Travel is typically the largest source of carbon emissions at live events. We’re working with the charity onboard:earth to tackle these impacts in three steps but we need your help:
- We’re measuring travel emissions and finding ways to reduce them wherever possible. If you’re travelling to Shambala, please consider these lower carbon travel options – they’re all £50 cheaper than general entry as a thank you for helping us minimise our travel carbon.
- Raising funds to support onboard:earth’s environmental restoration projects to address unavoidable travel emissions.
- When you buy a car parking pass or campervan pass, a donation goes to onboard:earth who channel your donation to community-scale, community-benefit renewable energy generation projects or to projects that plant trees, restore and preserve threatened ecosystems and support communities on the front line of climate change. If you didn’t buy a car-parking pass and would like to donate you can use onboard:earth’s Travel Carbon Calculator.
onboard:earth is a live events industry response to the climate crisis – a community of events, festivals, suppliers, artists and music companies taking action to reduce travel impacts by moving low-carbon travel into the heart of live events culture and raising funds for environmental restoration.
Since 2015, onboard:earth has worked with over 160 event industry members, providing t resources, tools, advice and inspiration to reduce travel emissions and channelling over £659,000 from event-goers to environmental restoration and climate action; funding community-led, community-led, community-benefit renewable energy generation and ecosystem protection and regeneration to protect biodiversity, sink carbon and create livelihoods for communities on the front line of climate change.
