Biodiversity Zone
What is Biodiversity? It is the rich variety of life all around us. From tiny organisms in the soil, to insects, birds, mammals, gardens, woodlands, our food, and us – all are inter-dependent. And all are in trouble. Along with climate change, biodiversity loss is a global crisis. The good news is – everybody can help.
The Biodiversity Zone is designed to inform and inspire us about nature and how to protect it. It is located in the semi-wild garden of Hill House, 54 South Street, CO11 1BQ.

Food Zone
What you choose to eat has a massive impact on both carbon emissions and the environment. Where your food is transported from is a major factor – local, seasonal food has very low ‘food miles’ whereas food from America or Australia has as many as 8,000 food miles.
How food is produced is also important – organic or foods produced without chemical fertilisers are better for you and the planet.
The cafes at the Earth Festival and the stalls in the Food Zone are all showcasing amazing local, seasonal food produced with kindness to the planet.

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle
We aim to ensure that the waste produced at the Festival is recycled wherever possible. We will have 6 Recycling Stations around the Festival each with:
Red box for paper and card; Green box for plastic bottles and cans; Green Caddy for food waste; White Box for glass; Blue Box for tetra-packs; Black Wheelie-bin for landfill – thus supporting the Tendring District Council recycling system.
Volunteers will set up the Recycling Stations, check them regularly through the Festival and encourage visitors to get waste in the right bins – they did well last year. At the end of the Festival we will check through the recycling and take to the correct skips at the Lawford Recycling Centre using the PACE Electric Cargo-bike.
There will also be several Recycling and Refill Stalls at the Festival explaining how Visitors can recycle rubbish which is not dealt with by the Council Kerb-side collection.

Water Zone
The picturesque River Stour is more than just a beauty spot. Important for wildlife and a hotspot for recreational activities, the Stour is a wonderful asset. So what can we do to keep this resource clean and safe to use? Maintaining a healthy aquatic environment is paramount for the future of the Stour. Stakeholders are working to monitor and improve our river. Come along to the Water Zone based near the Beach and find out more about these different groups and how you can help.

Wellbeing & Therapies
There will be a programme of 30minute group sessions of Yoga, Meditation, Chi Kung, Mindfulness and Nutrition as well as some 1 to 1 activities like Reiki and Reflexology – all led by experience practitioners.
Wellbeing is an important part of the Earth Festival because we get anxious when tackling issues like climate change. Looking after physical and mental health are crucial for you, your family and your local community as you make changes to your lifestyle – healthy body, healthy heart, healthy mind.
