Rototom Sunsplash has been chosen for the second tıme by the jury of the Greener Festival Award as one of the greenest and sustainable festivals in Europe. The awarded festivals are the ones that put effort the most - with the audience - for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, especially as it regards the transports. Other elements which count in the evaluation are recycling, the reduction of rubbish, water wastes, acoustic pollution and environmental impact.
All the lost and found objects have been given to the Local Police of Benicassim. I.D. cards will be directly send home by the Police, while all other objects will be at your disposal by the Police station, set in Benicàssim in Plaza Estació nº 20. Phone number: (+0034) 964 30 35 00.
