Entertainment can be make or break for an event.  Choosing the right type for the occasion and finding a quality entertainer for your event can be hard work.  There are a great many entertainers out there but what makes them more environmentally friendly? 

Many companies and organisations now have environmental policies so a quick look on their website will tell you how they try and run their business using a more sustainable methods.  The type of entertainment, transport methods and locality to your venue can all contribute to a greater or lesser carbon footprint.

Some entertainment is not only brilliant but supports local groups.  I came across one of the best music and dance groups I have seen in ages at the park fair at my old stomping ground.  Kinetika Bloco summer school provides a two week period during the summer for 14-25 year olds – and out of that the professionalism of these youngsters provided a varied performance of carnival dance and song backed by fantastic music and costumes.  The crowd was entralled.   Booking groups like this, who have to raise fund to exist help the groups to continue and the hundreds of young people involved.

That’s just one example.  Check out what’s available local to you and don’t just think inside the box!
