Plastic Free: Concrete Actions for the Territory
Since 2024, Panorama Festival has actively supported the initiatives of the non-profit association Plastic Free, for concrete action in favour of the territory.
Plastic Free is an independent, non-profit, voluntary organisation engaged in projects to protect the planet from plastic pollution. Some of the most common projects include environmental clean-ups, but also appointments in schools, rescuing sea turtles, battles against balloon flying or cigarette butt abandonment, and promoting eco-sustainable events.
A Commitment that Continues
Panorama Festival supopted Plastic Free in 2024 for the clean-up of the beautiful location of Porto Miggiano (Santa Cesarea Terme - LE), collecting a total of 21 bags of rubbish and raising awareness of the importance of reducing the use of plastic.
In 2025 we took part in the National Plastic Free Day, to clean up together with 60 volunteers the protected area of the Cesine Natural Park, an area disfigured by illegal dumping of waste where we managed to collect more than 50 bags of landfill materials.
Participating in these initiatives means asserting at the top of one's lungs one's desire to fight against the uncontrolled defacement that mankind causes with rubbish and plastics. Every year, between 100,500,000 tonnes of plastic end up in the Mediterranean, with the 50% from coastal communities, 30% transported by rivers and 20% dispersed along shipping lanes. The consequences on the marine ecosystem, but also on land, are devastating. This is why Panorama espouses initiatives such as this one, in order to contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem in which the festival takes place and to raise community awareness of more sustainable and responsible consumption.
Panorama continues to support Plastic Free in future initiatives and dates with the aim of giving concrete support not only to the association, but also to the region
