A Pride festival in the UK has gained recognition for combining both inclusivity and sustainability in its operations.
Worthing Pride, an annual celebration in the UK coastal town of Worthing, has implemented a waste management plan encouraging attendees to participate in green practices and including efforts to reduce single-use plastics, in order to reduce its environmental impact.
It also offers a platform for local businesses and small business owners and artisans to showcase their products, both supporting local services/products and reducing the event’s carbon footprint. It is also promoting eco-friendly vendors among other sustainability initiatives.
The event, which takes place in July, supports local environmental charities, with a direct focus on clean energy projects that benefit underrepresented communities or support LGBTQ+ environmental activists.
