MISSION STATEMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY FOR THE 2011 IMF

Green Scene Productions is committed to making relevant, sustainable choices in the production of the IMF while maintaining the ultimate experience for our fans and setting the standard in greening practices for Southern Nevada’s festivals and public events. By working with local vendors and suppliers, partnering with fans, musicians, artists and the community of Las Vegas, we dedicate the IMF to raising green awareness and encouraging attendees to make sustainable life style choices, both during and after the festival!         

We are building a GREEN SCENE from the ground-up!  At every phase of production our team is committed to making sustainable choices.

REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THE EVENT BY:

• Utilizing local vendors, as much as possible for supplies and equipment, minimizing the travel distance for goods and services.
• Using Re-purposed and non-toxic materials wherever possible.
• Providing alternative transportation options, VIP car pool parking, green shuttle services and safe and secure bike havens for attendees.
• Encouraging attendees and artists to offset their carbon footprint by providing green living tips and links to websites such as  http://www.carbonfund.org/

UTILIZING AND GENERATING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY:

• Utilizing renewable energy sources to power event as much as possible.
• Working with local power companies and suppliers to give back unused or event produced energy.
