Unmasking Deceptive Eco-Marketing

Making Maha Fest zero waste, again! ….

Our latest blog.

Pop on some “Big Thief” and jam out to these stats.

♻️ 2,543 pounds were saved from a landfill by composting or recycling ⁣— 94% of the total on-site waste

♻️ 9,600+ plastic water bottles never even used, thanks to everyone who filled up at the FNBO Free Water Stations ⁣

♻️ 98 recycling volunteers made it all happen⁣⁣ (shoutout to LinkedIn for helping & OPPD for sponsoring!)

Last year, we made history by being the state of Nebraska's first music festival, and we're making it a tradition.
