Environment
The Yalukit Willam Ngargee is working to become a benchmark for best practise in medium sized environmentally sustainable community festivals. Objectives for the Yalukit Willam Ngargee are to break new ground by being one of the few festivals of its size to have an environmental management plan and a completed Environmental Footprint for its operation. In 2010 we aim to reduce the festivals impact of Greenhouse Gas Emissions but for this to happen we need your support as a festival punter to ride your deadly treadly, walk, swim or catch public transport.
