Brussels Environment had organized a similar event since 2000, which quickly became unmissable for both local residents and environmental organizations. In 2016, it was renamed the “Festival of the Environment”. It featured two highlights: BEL Movie Day on 3 June, screening films on the environment and good food and, on Sunday 5 June 2016, a market providing information on biodiversity, waste treatment, renewable energy… all in a fun setting filled with activities, music, dance, circus, street arts, workshops…
The various formats encouraged visitors to join our common cause: supporting environmental protection without scaremongering.
