Own Spirit Land is a long-term project that was born in 2018 by the organizers of Own Spirit Festival.
The development of the project is based on the specific sustainability and landscaping plans focused on the restoration of integrations with nature as an essential aspect to achieve the conscious experience that the festival proposes, with a 10-year Sustainable Development Plan, from 2018 to 2027.
We are fully committed to respecting the environment in all phases of the festival's development, throughout the year with diverse activities and with special intensity in the previous 2 months and during the event. Grateful to be able to celebrate the festival in this beautiful land, we are aware of the associated environmental impact and we are committed to developing a sustainable action plan, for the third consecutive year, and with continuity over time, since we have the opportunity to enjoy this space in the long term (vision of the project in the first phase with a time horizon of 10 years, 2018 - 2027).
During the fourth edition of the festival (2018), first in the new location, we collected consumption data to be able to minimize them and use them more efficiently in the following editions, in order to reduce and optimize resources every year.
An Emissions Compensation Plan was written in 2018, we introduced PERMACULTURE and we continued to develop the concepts of BIO-CONSTRUCTION and LAND-ART, to carry out a 10-year LANDSCAPE PLAN.
The SUSTAINABLE ACTION PLAN 2018-19 obtained very good results. Thanks to this plan, the festival won the international recognition "A GREENER FESTIVAL AWARD" with the category of 1 star "improvers", a prize that was revalidated and increased in the category of 2 stars"commended" in the 2019 edition.
Thanks to the improvement of the actions initiated in 2018 and the implementation of new actions, such as the installation of a new solar panel system to provide pre-production and production tasks throughout the year and hiring specific services for the qualification of dry baths (100% of the baths of the festival were of this type, being the second festival in Spain to achieve it), to mention some of the most outstanding.
MISSION 2020 • For the 2020 edition, this beginning of the year (in February) has already been carried out various reforestation actions with olive and pine trees among other species and a delivery action of 200 envelopes with seeds of shrub and garden species in an event of promotion of the festival in Barcelona. Also for this 2020, the construction of 35 dry baths has been projected. Logistics and action tasks have begun to be planned in all environmental areas (water supply, selective collection of all waste fractions for recycling) and resumed contact with administrations to continue improving the quality and efficiency of our actions in different sectors.
