Festival 2010
Green living
The fourth year of Supernatural Festival we marked by great topics – Green Architecture, Organic food and Recycling.
Numerous research works show that building construction industry is the biggest emitter of CO2 and contributes to almost 50% of total emission of Co2 into the atmosphere. Supernatural directed its activities towards the education of young architects and designers by announcing the open competition to build Supernatural eco pavilion. This open competition was announced in cooperation with the Association of Belgrade architects, and had the aim to represent this pavilion as a spatial manifest of sustainable principles in architecture. The winning proposal was presented at the very Festival day, and on public areas of Belgrade, followed by series of educational workshops and exciting lectures of the world protagonist of green architecture from Paris – Edouard Francois. The open competition winners the studio KAKO KO use in their work the principles of sustainable design by usage of recycled material and their ideological solution represented the system of pleated paper (folded paper), wrinkled paper on the cardboard (carton), as a basic materials. USAID supported the production of the Supernatural Eco Pavilion.
In great coordination with Public utility company, from 16th to 18th of April 2010, at Nikola Pasic square, we organized once again a very successful recycling action. Whoever brought 3 plastic bottles, 3 cans and 3 sheets of paper got a free ticket for Supernatural Festival. We collected over 1.5 tons of waste.
25th of April 2010 about 15.000 visitors of all ages gathered at Hajducka cesma to celebrate the Day of the planet Earth. A totally new thing for the Supernatural Festival was introduction of organic market. In cooperation with Snezana Jandrlic, representative of the organization “Nature” and Belgrade markets we organized a weekend’s market day in Kosutnjak and offered the cleanest and the healthiest fruit and vegetables, organic sandwiches and cooked organic bean soup for the guests of the Festival. We were recognized by Slow Food, the biggest organization for protecting biodiversity in the food chain for our confrontation to bad habits in nutrition. In 2010 Supernatural becomes an official member of Slow Food.

Waste management is one of the most important strategic initiative of Republic Serbia, with Sekopak we organized a large recycling polygon – Sekopak recycling sorting corner. All waste generated at the Festival was directly sorted and recycled on the spot.
We made one step forward and involved young people into Supernatural movement – we formed Eco Patrol.
We opened the door to young people, activists and fans of Nature enabling them to join ecological actions of the Festival. Those who were interested could join Eco Patrol and take part in ecological workshops, actions of planting trees, cleaning the river banks and also collecting and recycling the waste material. The program of Eco Patrol was directed to build the habits and skills with the wish to create the concrete and visible results towards environment. We created the unique opportunity for young people to achieve the knowledge to applied ecology and created ecological team that Supernatural will engage in all future actions and projects including The Supernatural Festival itself.
