Ecoville

Australia's largest environmental organisation, Greening Australia has joined forces with WOMADelaide to make this event Carbon neutral through local biodiverse tree plantings. Over the last five years, no other organisation in the country has planted more trees for environmental repair. Greening Australia provides expertly managed, large-scale tree planting, which has been proven to offset CO2 emissions, recover landscapes and nurture biodiversity. Greening Australia with the support of Canopy guarantees that every tree planted for carbon offset will remain in the ground for over 100 years. What's more, Greening Australia is fully compliant with the Kyoto Climate Control Treaty and the NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme.

The amount of carbon generated by WOMADelaide, through travel, lighting, power etc will be offset through the revegetation of native bushland in South Australia. Greening Australia's carbon offset partner ACBI Ltd will provide legal contracts to protect the WOMADelaide trees permanently.

Plus for the first time you can offset your own carbon footprint at the Festival. There are 3 carbon offset levels to choose from

By going carbon neutral you are not only reducing your carbon footprint you are also building biodiversity in South Australia's unique and threatened landscapes.

We are all responsible for contributing to the global warming problem, and you too can play a role in the solution ... offset some or all of the carbon dioxide produced by you or your organisation with plantings managed by Greening Australia.
