newportFILM is a certified Green event and we take our sustainability practices very seriously. At each of our events you’ll find numerous ways that we try to take care of our environment. Our Sustainability Passport encourages you to be mindful of your own habits while attending a newportFILM screening!

Collect your Sustainability Passport at a newportFILM screening. After completing one of these tasks head over to the newportFILM tent to receive a stamp. All of these can be done once per newportFILM screening. Listed below are all of the ways to participate at our events!

  • Utilize our water filling station at the newportFILM tent We encourage you to bring refillable water bottles to easily refill your water and create less waste!
  • Use Newport Sea Salt Co. on your free popcorn We love our friends at Newport Sea Salt Co. – once bottles of their salt are finished, we return them to Newport Sea Salt Co. to be recycled.
  • Enjoy a bite to eat from one of our many food vendors We make sure that our food vendors all are using 100% compostable materials when at our events, this creates less waste!
  • Visit our Zero Waste Station We have partnered with WasteNaut Consulting to run our Zero Waste Stations. Here you can learn how to correctly dispose of your waste in either the compost, recycling, or landfill bins. This summer we have an 82% diversion rate.
  • Treat yourself to a plastic free picnic Bring your own picnic! Earn a stamp by packing reusable and compostable materials only.
  • Carpool with your friends to a screening Reduce your carbon emissions by going together instead of on your own.
  • Bike or Walk to a screening Live nearby? We partner with our friends at BikeNewport to create bike routes to our events! Reduce your carbon footprint by biking or walking.
  • Tag us on Instagram (@newportFILM) Show us all your sustainable efforts on instagram with the hashtag #nptFILMNoWaste to get a stamp!

After completing your passport, drop it off at the newportFILM tent to be entered into a raffle! You’ll have a chance to win gift certificates from some of our eco-conscious friends, including Folk Vintage, Ragged Island Brewing, and more.
