High Sierra is committed to toward environmental sustainability and continues to build upon their greening successes. Through partnerships with Green Mountain Energy for carbon offsets, Clean Vibes for recycling, and Clif Bar to purchase wind credits, High Sierra is making visible efforts to minimize their carbon footprint. In 2007, High Sierra implemented a successful composting program, partnering with local Plumas County farmers to keep organic scrap by-products created by its food vendors out of the landfill. In total, approximately 850 gallons of fruit and vegetable waste were kept out of the landfill by the composting team. The Festival plans to expand the operation in 2008.
