Carbon & Energy

We’re committed to tracking and reducing our carbon footprint where possible and supporting the most credible offsets to neutralize unavoidable emissions:

  • We track and measure the carbon emissions produced by our event to identify any areas for reduction
  • But we don’t just buy any old carbon credits.To eliminate emissions equal to the Outside Festival, we work with Cooler to purchase and retire carbon permits from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a government consortium that regulates pollution in the Northeast. 
  • For every permit we purchase at RGGI’s quarterly auctions, we reduce the permits available to polluters. 
  • This immediately prevents pollution that would happen otherwise and invests in greening the energy grid.
