We’re passionate about doing our bit for the planet and so making ChoirBLAST as eco friendly as possible has been part of how we’ve done things from the beginning. There’s 2 main ways we impact the environment: carbon emissions and producing waste. We've calculated our carbon footprint for 2025, so we know where our emissions are coming from.

We’ve done several things to try and reduce emmissions and waste:​

​

• Getting electricity to stages and food stands in the middle of a field can be difficult. Often, diesel generators are the only option, but these produce a lot of carbon dioxide. So, we use electricity from the nearby buildings as much as possible to reduce the number of generators we need - and, the Duck stage in 2024 and 2025 was completely powered by solar power!

• The emissions from choirs and visitors travel is another big source of carbon emissions and one we can’t control. We’re lucky that Godalming has a good train link and electric vehicle chargers in the town. We encourage everyone to travel by public transport or lift share where they can.

• We don’t want to use more of the planet’s resources than we need to, so we borrow, rent and reuse as much of our staging, equipment and decorations as we can. This also saves us money so we can support our causes.

• We work with all our stall holders and partners to encourage as many eco friendly options as we can, and in 2025, all our waste will be sorted properly by our suppliers. ​
