'Finally, a book that gathers all the knowledge about running a sustainable event and presents it in one easy to understand, well thought out format. Possibly one of the most important books written on event management this decade, and a must have for organisers of events everywhere.'
Matt Grant, Festival & Creative Director, Peats Ridge 2009, Australia

'This truly practical guide offers easy to understand education and achievable initiatives to any industry practitioner looking for solutions where little has been previously documented or available.'
Jane Fullerton-Smith, Director, Sustainable Event Solutions


'I had already been committed to bringing about a change in the perception of festival-goers towards their impact upon the environment, but Meegan successfully made that change happen...this book explains in a wonderful explanatory manner how every event can move towards our common goal -- sustainability!'
Melvin Benn, Director, Festival Republic


'The most authoritative, meticulous and informed book on sustainability in the events sector. Meegan Jones has more experience in this field than perhaps anyone else in the world and this is evidenced on every page. Thoughtfully and logically laid out this is an indispensable guide to reducing environmental impacts and positioning festivals as trail blazers in sustainable living.'
Alison Tickell, Director, Julie's Bicycle
