What we like most about the festival is how they put sustainability at the beginning of everything. Like their infrastructure at the festival is constructed adopting environmentally conscious practices, thereby preserving the land and its integrity. As the name suggests, Earth lies at the core of the festival. Through this, they aim to create a space for people to witness sustainable practices at play, and to create awareness of a sustainable lifestyle.
