<\/div>\nGOING GREEN UNDER THE BIG SKY<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Outriders Present is committed to the Whitefish community and is thrilled to roll out our green initiatives for Under the Big Sky Festival. Please read more about our efforts and how you can help us make the event\u2014and our community\u2014sustainable for years to come.<\/p>\n Recycling, Composting, & Material Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the Big Sky wants to challenge conventional behavior around material waste. Through a partnership with Citizens for a Better Flathead and their WasteNot Project<\/a>, our team will be collecting, sorting, and recovering materials for reuse, recycling, and organics composting. Do your part by depositing your waste correctly in one of our three-stream recovery stations, and use the QR code at each station to learn more about what is and is not recyclable locally:<\/p>\n Additionally, each vendor and sponsor will be given a guide to decrease their waste impacts to align with local material recovery infrastructure.<\/p>\n Hydration<\/strong><\/p>\n There is a free water refill station located in the middle of the festival for you to stay hydrated in the summer heat. Please bring your own empty reusable bottle under 24 ounces and fill \u2018er up!<\/p>\n In partnership with Path Water, there will be no plastic water bottles sold on site. If you leave your bottle at home, we will be selling water in reusable (and infinitely recyclable) aluminum bottles.<\/p>\n Water Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n Water resources in Montana are under threat, and Under the Big Sky is supporting local watersheds to ensure healthy and sustainable ecosystems. We will be making a 200,000 gallon donation to the Bonneville Environmental Foundation\u2019s (BEF) Prickly Pear Creek Flow Restoration Project<\/a> near Helena, about 200 miles from Big Mountain Ranch. We hope to raise awareness about this critical resource and continue to find opportunities to grow this initiative!<\/p>\n Transportation<\/strong><\/p>\n Alternative transportation is strongly encouraged! Shuttles, ride shares (Uber\/Lyft), carpool, and biking will all be available at the event:<\/p>\n Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>If your phone is drained, charge up without feeling down. Oscillation Transia<\/a> will be providing a solar-powered charging station onsite that will get you and your phone back on track!<\/p>\n As 2019 will be the first ever Under the Big Sky Festival, we will be tracking our carbon emissions to understand how we can further decrease our environmental impacts and support local clean energy efforts.<\/p>\n Attendee Engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n Flathead County is a stunning corner of our country, and it is worth protecting. We are excited to learn how we can continue improving our event and how we can address local environmental resources. Come find our friends at Climate Smart Glacier Country<\/a>, give them your thoughts on our sustainability efforts, and learn how you can continue supporting community efforts after our weekend together!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n All ages welcome and children under 6 admitted for free!<\/p>\n Alcohol not included with VIP or Group VIP.<\/p>\n Glacier Park International Airport<\/a> is only 15 minutes away and offers direct flights from major cities.<\/p>\n Amtrak\u2019s Empire Builder<\/a> arrives twice-daily at the historic Whitefish Railway Depot from Chicago and Minneapolis to the east and Portland and Seattle from the west.<\/p>\n Driving from any direction takes you through some of the most scenic landscapes in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Under the Big Sky is happy to provide shuttles in Whitefish.
