Let's Animate Green!
In the preparation and execution of the festival, we try to be as sustainable as possible. We strive to introduce green practices in culture and to reduce our carbon footprint, as we believe that in this time of climate crisis, it is essential to take action.
HOW TO GET TO STOPTRIK?
We encourage our foreign and domestic guests to choose the train or bus to come to the festival, and to avoid flying for shorter distances. If they come by car, car-sharing is recommended. The local audience mostly comes to the festival on foot, by bicycle, or by city bus. We optimise all our journeys and deliver the necessary equipment to the festival venues in a single trip. We transport smaller items between locations with a cargo bike.
WHAT DO WE EAT AT STOPTRIK?
At the main festival venue, a communal vegan lunch is provided for guests and the festival team. The meals are prepared from produce and products of exclusively plant-based origin from the local area and are cooked at the festival location. We use stainless steel cutlery, ceramic plates, and glass cups, and thus produce no waste; likewise, food is never thrown away. We use exclusively plant-based products and strive for short supply chains.
WHAT ABOUT WASTE AT STOPTRIK?
During the festival, we strive to produce as little waste as possible while also ensuring it is properly separated. There are clearly marked places at the venue for separate waste disposal. We strive to reuse materials when possible and avoid single-use packaging. The catering establishment we work with during the festival is one of the few zero-waste venues in Slovenia.
WHAT DO WE CREATE WITH AT STOPTRIK?
We address ecological issues in the production of stop-motion animation and look for more sustainable production methods. In the workshops we organise, we strive to use existing objects and materials and encourage repurposing and recycling. We encourage the use of new, biodegradable, and more environment-friendly materials.
