This is the first time I have ever contacted a business and they actually responded with a real human being on the other end of my email correspondence.
I sent them this message: "I know you are only following orders but we are living in a time where corporate processes are destroying our planet. We need to change the way we do things in order to make a true impact on the world we live in so that we can live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Did you know that you can make wristbands for these events that attendees can plant afterwards: https://www.botanicalpaperworks.com/catalog/promotional-items/wristbands You can also make the cards for the cashless transactions out of bamboo so that it is not made out of plastic. It could be reused at other festivals. A lot of people who go to these festivals attend it year after year. The technology is available to allow these innovative approaches. I know that there are strategic steps taken so that more money could be made. If you still want to encourage this consumerism lifestyle approach, you could incentivise attendees to reuse these cards at other festivals and that they would receive some sort of discount as a result. There are so many amazing ways that we can be creative about becoming more eco-friendly. Is there someone in charge of these matters that I could connect with?"
Within a day, Robyn responded to me and she gave me the contact details of a person who could assist me.
I am impressed by her kind and sincere handling of this situation.
