PAWS UP FOR THE PLANET
At Dogstival we like being kind to the planet. In 2024 we managed to reduce our carbon footprint by a whopping 74% by powering some of our stages with solar and using bio-fuel to power the rest. We also managed to recycle 67% of all our waste. It goes without saying single use plastics are banned….although we’ve not found a use for all those dog poo’s!
