SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

BEING SUSTAINABLE IN ANDANÇAS IS…

Using the Andanças Mug and saying no to plastic and disposables! It is saying yes to re-using as a habit.

The mug is an icon of Andanças and of Pédexumbo. We ask all participants to bring their own mug (with a capacity of up to 20 cl) from home. In case you do not have one, you can acquire it from the participant front desk or by the meal points. Due to the pandemic, this year we will not be taking refunds.

Going in the Andanças Bus for the tours of this edition of «A Caminhar para o Andanças», in accordance with the departure time and place indicated in the program. We should avoid going in our own car for more sustainable mobility, with economic and environmental advantages!

Asking for the right portion in meals! At Andanças we incentivize the reduction of food waste through the right portion “Dose Certa”, making people aware that they should help themselves (or ask those that are serving them) for only the strictly necessary amount of food they will eat.

Buying local produce! At Andanças, whenever possible, we use local suppliers and the meals are also made with locally sourced ingredients. This year we are counting on local associations to make the lunches of the program «A Caminhar para o Andanças». The goal is to boost the local economy, but also to reduce the ecological footprint and any unnecessary food-related costs. We also suggest that the participants of the festival buy local products at the local stores.

Recycling! At Andanças we make the selective gathering of residue for recycling. The customary recycling centres for plastic packages will be available in the programming areas so that all participants may help with separating residue, thus helping in the labour of selective gathering.

Bringing a pocket ashtray! In this edition we will walk around many areas in Reguengos de Monsaraz, including places right in the middle of nature. We recommend that all smokers bring with them their own pocket ashtray. They can buy one at the participant front desk. The goal for this habit is to make sure that cigarette butts never end up in the ground. 

 

#ashtraysasahabit

Saving water! At Andanças we incentivize the conscious use of water as a precious, limited resource and we educate people on saving it. We avoid its waste by using automated water faucets whenever it is possible.
