Composting receptacles will also be available for food items. A diaper changing area will be available on-site. Green Sprouts is asking folks to limit bringing disposable items and that you practice a pack-in/pack-out approach for any items that can’t be recycled or composted. They also encourage public transportation for getting to the event.
