Through our Geauxing Green program, we diverted nearly 45% of total festival waste away from landfills in 2025. Responsible product sourcing, on-site waste sorting with recycling and composting, and public education keep New Orleans’ streets and waterways cleaner. We also eliminated over 300 gallons of fossil fuel usage through sustainable operations, including electric golf carts, battery generators, and a solar-powered stage.
Why It Matters: Preventing Marine Debris
Marine debris is a serious threat to Louisiana’s environment. NOAA reports that roughly 80% of marine debris originates on land via litter and mismanaged landfill waste. By reducing landfill contributions and promoting responsible behavior, Geauxing Green helps stop debris before it reaches our rivers and the Gulf—protecting ecosystems, wildlife, and coastal communities.
