Green Rider

We need to take better care of our common mother, Mother Earth. We need to change so that future generations will inherit a better world then the one we live in today. That’s why we encourage you to use the green rider to help create a green change in the music industry.

Our intention as a festival is to have as low of an impact as possible, and we want to ask you to help us continuing this work by making some greener choices while visiting us in Oslo. It can be small or big choices, the important thing is to think greener.

Food

• 👩‍🌾 We encourage you to ask for locally produced and if possible organic food. Please note that organic food can often be imported to Norway.
• 🌱 We all love our meats, but try to ask for a menu consisting mainly of plant-based food. Good for you and the environment.
• 🍽 Keep food waste to a minimum.

Transport

• 🧳 For smaller bands with less luggage we encourage you to take the Airport Express train from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station.
• 🚶‍♀️ For venues within walking distance we hope that you accept to be taken there by foot. Note that Oslo has a green urban development plan and it can often be more challenging going by car than by foot.
• 🚋 If you want to explore Oslo, we encourage you to try our excellent public transportation system.

Waste

• ♻ Bottles and beer cans get recycled and reused in Norway do not throw them in the trash.
• 💧 Tap water in Norway is excellent, please drink from a glass when possible.
• 🚬 Please throw cigarette butts in the designated ashtrays outside and not on the ground. They contain plastic, takes ten years to break down and usually ends up in the ocean.
