Within the scope of the festival, which aims to raise environmental awareness, numerous events related to recycling, sustainable living, energy efficiency, and environmentally friendly technologies are being held. Workshops, theater shows, competitions, and interactive educational programs prepared for children and young people are attracting great interest in the festival area.
HABERLER.COM BOOTH ATTRACTS GREAT ATTENTION
One of the most notable points of the festival was the Haberler.com booth. In this special area prepared with the slogan "Zero Waste in Digital," the aim is to provide visitors with environmentally friendly habits in the digital world.
The booth, which raises awareness about digital cleaning, sustainable technology use, and data consumption habits, hosted thousands of visitors over three days. It awaits visitors on the last day of the festival as well.
On the second day of the festival, Istanbul Governor Davut Gül also visited the Haberler.com booth and received information about the awareness efforts being carried out. The booth became one of the standout areas of the festival with its approach combining environmental awareness and digital transformation.

ELIF ESEN ALSO TOOK THE "ZERO WASTE IN DIGITAL" TEST
On the third day of the festival, one of the guests at the Haberler.com booth was Elif Esen, Deputy Chairperson and Istanbul Deputy of the DEVA Party.
Esen participated in the digital cleaning test featured on the "Zero Waste in Digital" panel, answering many questions ranging from deleting unnecessary files to extending device life, and from paperless living habits to data usage.
Stating that she is sensitive about digital organization despite her busy work schedule, Esen completed the test with a score of 80. After the test, Esen said humorously, "I think I'm not in bad shape for digital detox," and thanked the Haberler.com and New Media team for the awareness effort.
