The Good Journey was conceived because approximately half of the total climate footprint of the festival comes from travel (people) and transport (things). Of this, by far the largest portion is due to 62% of the visitors arriving by (fossil) car in 2022, who together travel about 2.7 million km.

To become a climate-positive festival, that must change. The aim of the Good Journey program is to make the CO2e emissions from travel and transport climate-neutral. We do this by:

1. Reducing or preventing: more efficient transport plans, offloading at central locations, more economical vehicles, organizing more locally, and more reuse on the island.

2. Switching to fossil-free energy: preferably wind, sun, human power, other green electricity, and hydrogen, but at a minimum sustainable biofuels (HVO-UCO fueled directly or through fuel replacement).

3. Cleaning up unavoidable residual emissions through natural carbon storage: With Climate Cleanup's ONCRA, we support regional natural CO2 storage projects. This way, we not only keep carbon long-term out of the atmosphere in solid form, but we also stimulate the new circular and regenerative economy.

Because we believe everyone should be able to travel to the festival both fossil-free and comfortably, we bring together as many (nearby) fossil-free travel and transport options as possible under the Good Journey program:

Glimble - makes it easier for visitors to travel and plan fossil-free. Users buy the tickets in one place and receive an additional €10 discount (so €20 with the Good Journey Surcharge included) for fossil-free travel to and from the festival booked via the app.

Fossil-free festival buses from Arriva Touring for visitors and volunteers from Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Harlingen.

Slinger for carpooling with electric and HVO-powered vehicles - the new carpool app for fossil-free cars, travel even more sustainably by sharing your fossil-free car.

NS partner page - via this page festival visitors can easily and cheaply purchase train tickets to Harlingen Haven.

Electric crew and artist transport - an electric shuttle service for crew and artists, paid with saved parking and travel costs reimbursements.

The sailed freight - all reusable tableware, Pieter Pot, cabling from F&L, Texel beer. No loose boxes to carry for ship personnel, but fully loaded pallets.
