For this reason, for the first year, Sile Jazz provides for the purchase of a ticket for the concerts, at a nominal fee of € 2.00, which will be entirely reinvested in environmental actions for the territory, such as: support for associations and ecological guides of the area, planting of trees to offset the consumption of CO2, waste collection initiatives and public awareness of environmental issues.
