2. Waste-Free Event
   Global Games aims to reach our goal of running waste-free events in 2025. By entering, you accept that you are responsible for sorting your own waste and recycling at the event, bringing your recycling to the "Without Waste" tent, and taking all of your general waste away with you. You will need to factor your teams general waste disposal costs into your fundraising efforts. The aim of this is to minimise the amount of waste going to landfill from our event and to reduce our environmental impact.
