OUR APPROACH<\/span><\/h3>

Andan\u00e7as promotes a holistic vision and considers the whole life cycle of products and services, from production processes to consumption. With our idealized objective of \u201czero waste\u201d we are trying to contribute to more sustainable consumption habits and life styles.<\/p>

PRINCIPLES AND COMPROMISES<\/h4>

At P\u00e9deXumbo are aware that any event of large dimensions has considerable environmental, social and economic impacts \u2013 even cultural events like a festival. Therefore we are striving to be aware of, and reduce, possible negative impacts of Andan\u00e7as. We choose to adopt best practices and apply them in a continuous and progressive way.<\/p>

OUR OBJECTIVES ARE:<\/h4>

1. To reduce negative local and global impacts, having the festival touching the planet with the smallest and lightest footprint possible.<\/p>

2. To create local and regional changes towards sustainability, by introducing best practices which will take root and bear fruit.<\/p>

3. To spread principles and practices which our participants will take home with them, like seeds ready to sprout and flourish in other places, in their day-to-day life. With only small changes in our behavior we can make the world a fairer and more sustainable place with more solidarity.<\/p>

We invite you to come and experiment, and share Andan\u00e7as in all its aspects.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

ZERO WASTE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

ZERO DISPOSABLES<\/h4>

At Andan\u00e7as we do not use disposable dishes \u2013 there are no single-use plastic cups, plates or cutlery. We have re-usable mugs for each participant, and plates and cutlery are washed after meals.<\/p>

The mug is a symbol of Andan\u00e7as and P\u00e9deXumbo. Bring your own cup from home, with a capacity of up to 20 cl (material and shape are up to you). Alternatively you can get one at the festival for a small deposit. At the end you can return the mug and get your money back.<\/p>

To reduce use of plastic water bottles we provide drink water taps. Besides, we encourage the sale of pressurized drinks like beer from tap. We also promote the use of sugar cups instead of individually packed sugar, and the use of wooden disposable sticks for stirring coffee.<\/p>

ZERO WASTE OF WATER<\/h4>

Water is a precious and scarce resource. At Andan\u00e7as we promote responsible use of water and encourage water saving. We are using automatic taps to avoid waste of water.<\/p>

ZERO WASTE OF FOOD \u2013 THE RIGHT PORTION!<\/h4>

At Andan\u00e7as we strive to reduce food waste by encouraging people to take only the quantity of food they need \u2013 the right portion, or \u201cDose Certa\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

BETTER HABITS<\/span><\/h3>

MAKING A HABIT OF USING SUSTAINABLE WAYS OF TRANSPORT<\/h4>

Using public transport or car sharing has innumerable advantages, economically, environmentally (like reduction of emissions and energy consumption), and socially. At Andan\u00e7as we try to show that these are viable options: public transport to the festival, getting a lift among friends or via online platforms. Above all, it is a question of conscience, motivation and planning ahead.<\/p>

MAKING A HABIT OF RE-USING<\/h4>

It is easy to give a longer life to objects that surround us. This way we can avoid waste, save natural resources and energy used in the production process. At Andan\u00e7as we try to bring this message across by encouraging each participant to personalize their mug and to re-use it at our other events. We also remind, that water bottles can be refilled with tap water and that dishes should be reusable. We also avoid merchandising.<\/p>

MAKING A HABIT OF RECYCLING<\/h4>

Nowadays recycling is a habit for most people. At Andan\u00e7as we collect different types of waste separately for recycling. Our mini recycling centres for packing material are distributed throughout the festival area. Organic waste is collected separately for local composting.<\/p>

MAKING A HABIT OF USING AN ASHTRAY<\/h4>

If you are a smoker, consider to bring a pocket ashtray with you, or get one at the festival. We have several alternatives available. The idea is to create a habit of it, so cigarette butts will not end up on the floor \u2013 at the festival, but also afterwards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

LOCAL <\/span>ECONOMY<\/span><\/h3>

ZERO-KILOMETER MENU<\/h4>

At Andan\u00e7as we use local providers whenever possible. Meals are prepared with locally produced ingredients. Our objective is to support local economy, but also to reduce the ecological footprint, and to avoid unnecessary food costs.<\/p>

PORTUGUESE PRODUCTS<\/h4>

We want to support national production and creativity, and look for products and services of highest sustainability and quality. We believe that Andan\u00e7as plays an active part in raising awareness and influencing the market (producers, suppliers and consumers). We show that there is a demand and a place for sustainable alternatives, and for innovative companies which share our vision.<\/p>

RENEWABLE ENERGY<\/h4>

Portugal has plenty of renewable energy sources, like the sun, wind and the sea. Besides our concern about reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency, we also try to share knowledge of alternative energy sources at Andan\u00e7as, especially related to solar energy: for lighting, water heating, or cooking (for example in solar ovens).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Using the Andan\u00e7as Mug and saying no to plastic and disposables! It is saying yes to re-using as a habit.
<\/b>The mug is an icon of Andan\u00e7as and of P\u00e9dexumbo. 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 buy it from Canec\u00e1rio or by the meal points.\u00a0<\/p>

Buying local produce!<\/b>\u00a0At Andan\u00e7as, 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 \u00abA Caminhar para o Andan\u00e7as\u00bb. 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.\u00a0<\/p>
