ENVIRONMENTAL MATS<br />
The Environmental Mat is a compulsory piece of equipment that must be used by Competors. This<br />
is to protect the Beach and waterways and all its living organisms from being contaminated, which<br />
could jeopardise the future of the event.<br />
The Environmental mat must be composed of an absorbent upper part and an impermeable lower<br />
part. It is compulsory to use and environmental mat (or other effecve and approved system) to<br />
prevent sand and water contaminaon within the Pits/Work Area.<br />
TEAR OFFS<br />
These are strictly prohibited. Due to the composition of Tear Offs, these can remain in the<br />
environment for decades and once they enter the waterways became a danger to all the species that<br />
live within.<br />
CABLE TIES<br />
The use of Cable Ties whilst not prohibited at present, we would ask Competitors to be mindful of their<br />
use, ensuring any used to secure easi ups, awnings etc., once cut are picked up and taken home in their<br />
own rubbish. Think could you use an alternative, like re useable bungee stras.<br />
Cable ties can cause untold damage to the natural sea life, if they enter the waterways.<br />
IMPACT AND SUSTAINABILITY<br />
For the Weston Beach Race to be sustainable, we all have a duty to make sure the beach, its lawns<br />
and promenade on which it is built, is looked aer. With between 50,000 – 80,000 people vising<br />
and working across this temporary event site, reducing and controlling the impact the Weston Beach<br />
Race has on its environment is a huge task.<br />
This is a task we embrace, but we cannot do it without the help of all those involved within the event,<br />
from the person who builds the track to the Spectator that comes to the event.<br />
<strong>RHL</strong> has invested heavily in sustainability with the training and accreditaon of key officials to FIM<br />
Environmental Officers, enabling them to teach,train and make aware <strong>RHL</strong> and its team of its<br />
Environmental and Sustainability responsibilies and that of the Competor.<br />
SUSTAINABILITY - EDUCATION<br />
<strong>RHL</strong> work closely with local schools and colleges in bringing them to the Beach Race and working with<br />
them on projects and career paths.<br />
