Taken action to ensure the long-term
impact of the activity is climate positive
through mitigating ten times the carbon
footprint through the planting of 15,154
trees with the Woodland Trust*
The greatest carbon savings were from
Lumenators (participants) or staff and
crew using coaches instead of individual
car journeys (47.23 tCO2e), vegetarian
meals instead of meat (approx 25-30
tCO2e) and choosing hotels with green
energy tariffs (16.3 tCO2e).
• 50/50 split of vegetarian and meat
meals overall
• 71% of suppliers came from within
50 miles
• 13/19 events used over 80%
renewable energy
• 81% of Lumenators shared transport
• 26% of accommodation had a green
energy tariff
• Followed the waste hierarchy and
diverted >99% of our waste from
landfill
• Accurately measured impact across
all areas for all stakeholders for scope

Nathan Jackson, Head of Production,
Green Space Dark Skies Walk the Plank
said: “We did not take a ‘business as usual’
approach to this work and our aim was
for Green Space Dark Skies Lumenators
to become caretakers of nature for the
future. Our landscapes are places worth
protecting, for everyone, forever. Our aim
was for Green Space Dark Skies to be an
example of best practice in sustainable
event production, thinking about all
aspects of our operational delivery. From
the outset, we wanted to be transparent
about successes and challenges for the
collective benefit of everyone working in
event production.”
