Greening the Treasure Island Music Festival
Hosting a festival at such a beautiful site reminds us all of the importance
of minimizing our carbon footprint. We are working diligently to decrease
our emissions, divert our waste, and offset our impact. Last year we were
able to divert 72% (9.2 tons) of our waste to recycling and composting
- the second highest diversion rate at any festival in the Bay Area. With
your help we can do even better this year!
Reducing emissions
- Bauer’s zero-emission buses will bring you
from AT&T
Park to Treasure Island in style. Their entire bus fleet utilizes
advanced engine and after-treatment technologies and ultra-low sulfur
diesel fuel to eliminate environmental impact.
- Biodiesel generators – Fueled with B20, a mix
of 20% biodiesel, 80% diesel, which reduces emissions of hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide.
- All ticket-buyers will be able to offset their CO2 emissions by opting
to pay an extra $1 when they buy their tickets. All money collected
in this way will go towards renewable energy and reforestation programs
through Carbonfund.org.
- Check out our comprehensive online guide to traveling to AT&T
Park by foot, bike, BART, and MUNI. Please utilize this guide
to further reduce your own carbon footprint.
Reducing Waste
- All printed materials are on recycled paper.
- Recycled napkins, paper
towels, and toilet paper throughout the site.
- Compostable plastic cups
and utensils thanks to the SF Department of the Environment.
- Recycle
all bottles and cans.

All leftover food will be brought to local shelters in San Francisco.
