Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Festivals are vibrant celebrations that bring people together to enjoy culture, music, and community.
However, they also have significant environmental impacts, which have led to the rise of green festivals
aimed at reducing ecological footprints and promoting sustainability.
Green festivals employ a variety of strategies to minimize their environmental impact. One
major approach is waste reduction. Festivals often use compostable or reusable materials instead of single-
use plastics, set up extensive recycling stations, and encourage attendees to reduce waste. By making these
changes, festivals can significantly decrease the volume of waste that ends up in landfills.
Energy conservation constitutes another pivotal aspect of green festivals. Organizers may deploy
renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to power the event. Furthermore, energy-
efficient lighting and sound systems are employed to decrease electricity consumption. This transition to
renewable energy sources effectively reduces the overall carbon footprint of the festival.
Transportation also plays a significant role in green festivals. Many events offer shuttle services,
promote carpooling, and encourage the use of public transportation to minimize the carbon emissions
associated with attendees traveling to and from the festival. By addressing transportation, festivals can help
reduce the impact on the environment from the large number of visitors.
Despite these efforts, green festivals still face challenges. Managing the large volume of waste
generated and meeting high energy demands can be difficult. However, with ongoing innovations and a
commitment to sustainability, festivals can continue to improve their environmental practices and contribute
positively to environmental conservation.
