Kluisbergen While the Oude Kwaremont in Kluisbergen to a garbage recreated, the cycling fans a bit further on at the site of the Hotond Sporthotel there wants to be managed in an orderly way to the course to watch. There were the organizers of the Hotondfestival at the end of the day barely garbage.
The almost hour Hotond Sporthotel on the border between Ronse and Kluisbergen, organized at the Tour of Flanders the Hotondfestival. The cycling fans, there could a whole day go to the course on big screens to follow, to enjoy a snack and a drink and the riders to see it pass. “We have deliberately chosen to be the ecological to tackle”, says organiser Pieter Loose. “There was a lot of people, but yet we afterwards almost not a single piece of paper on the ground found. That proves that it can be different than on the Old Kwaremont. According to me, that is not to the supporters, but to the organisers. If you choose to work with reusable cups linked to a guarantee system, and sufficient trash cans, it works. The organisers of the Tour of Flanders running high with waste management, but in practice they are still doing too little. In advance, everyone told me foolish that I have an ecological festival, wanted to organize, but you see: it is worth it.”
