Last year, travel from our Audience, Crew, and Artists generated nearly 500 tonnes of CO2e – that’s over half of the festival’s footprint.
2024’s average number of people per vehicle? Just 2.43.
If every car arriving at Shambala carried 4 people instead, we’d slash emissions by over 200 tonnes of CO2e. That’s a huge climate win – and it’s completely within reach.
That’s where you come in. Whether you’re offering a lift or hitching a ride, becoming a Car Share Hero is one of the easiest and most effective ways to take action and shrink our collective carbon footprint.
We understand not everyone can travel in shared transport, or fill a car easily. But if you are able to, it really does make a big difference!
