ENVIRONMENTAL SUMMARY
The Foro Sol is a mixed use sport and concert venue near Mexico City's main airport. It is within easy walking distance to the Ciudad Deportiva and Veldromo metro stops.
Parking:
Though regular vehicle parking was available at the venue, the promoter regularly publicized public transport options and organized bus pickup locations to the venue throughout the city.
Energy:
The energy for the show was provided by Luz y Fuerza, the federal light and power utility company as well as diesel-powered generators.
Recycling:
Garbage in Mexico City is divided into organic and inorganic disposables, some of which is then recycled. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/feb/24/recycling-revamped/
Catering:
Caterers provided washable plates and cutlery for all meals. Large water coolers were provided for use with our refillable water bottles, though sealed individual-sized water bottles were also available. Catering food waste was separated for composting at a local organic garden.
Other green initiatives/issues:
Friends of the Earth Mexico (Otros Mundos) were welcomed participants at both of our Mexico City shows. You can read more about their work here: http://www.foei.org/en/who-we-are/member-directory/mexico
Many thanks to Lourdes, Maureen, Ale, and everyone at Ocesa for all their help.
