The annual RTD music festival boosts a strong Eco/Social component and its mission is to "aim to host a premier music and lifestyle festival in an environmentally and socially responsible manner under the motto of play hard, tread lightly." In the last five years, RTD has won several Eco relevant awards for its efforts and each year a comprehensive Eco audit is conducted by an independent organisation.
TEDxCapeTown has partnered with Greenpop, a social enterprise that hosts the Green Village and Hemp Stage at RTD. Greenpop's mission is to (re)connect people with our planet and each other. They plant trees and have fun while doing it. This environmentally focused activation has been made possible through collaboration with Reliance Compost, that produces certified organic compost that adheres to global standards; and Sunshine Cinema, a mobile, solar-powered cinema that screens short films and hosts facilitated workshops to address social and environmental challenges in rural communities.
On Saturday and Sunday, festivalgoers can look forward to a carefully curated selection of TEDx talks mixed with a line-up of live speakers representing Greenpop, Reliance Compost, Hemporium and 100in1dayCapeTown.

About TEDx, x=independently organised event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.
These local, self-organised events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.*
TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers - and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
