TripZero
We have teamed up with our friends at Trip Zero for the fourth year in a row to offset the carbon footprint created by travel to Cali Roots! TripZero offsets your footprint by funding reforestation and renewable energy projects. Your TripZero reservations enable them to fund reforestation projects around the globe.

• 1,410,957 lbs of CO2 this year (more than a ten-fold increase from last year).

#RockNRefill
In an effort to eliminate the use of single-use plastic water bottles at Cali Roots for the third consecutive year, the festival is offering fans a chance to participate in the #RockNRefill program. This partnership between the environmental non-profit REVERB and Nalgene USA encourages fans to bring an empty water bottle, or make a donation to receive an Official Festival Nalgene water bottle and utilize one of the filtered water refill stations, provided by REVERB.

• 31,826 single use bottles prevented
• Over 16,000 individual fill-ups at the water stations
• $4,446 raised to support The Last Plastic Straw
