Our Commitment to the Planet
The goal of the Water Lantern Festival is always to leave the venue in a better condition than we found it. In line with the "Leave No Trace" philosophy, we retrieve all lanterns after the event and even remove any existing trash from the water. Our lanterns are 100% sustainable: they are made from biodegradable rice paper, wood bases, and LED candles that are reused and recycled to reduce our environmental footprint.
- Help us protect the environment! To make this event truly eco-friendly, we need your support: Please use the recycling bins for your personal waste.
- Be sure not to leave any trash in the green areas or near the water.
