The festival producers also plan to build upon the success of last years greening initiative. In 2007, Treasure Island Music Festival implemented a festival-wide composting system, and are extremely proud to achieve a 72% waste diversion rate, the second-best of any San Francisco event in 2007. In all, the festival composted or recycled over 9 tons of waste! Hosting a festival at such a beautiful site as Treasure Island makes it even more important to minimize our carbon footprint. This year, the Festival plan to take the next step, aiming for an even higher waste diversion rate and further reducing their carbon footprint by provide zero-emission buses to transport concert go-ers from AT&T Park to Treasure Island, using biodiesel generators and giving ticket purchasers with have the opportunity to add $1 to ?Green? their ticket and help offset the Treasure Island Music Festival?s carbon dioxide emissions.
