HAVE YOU GOT A GREAT BIG GREEN IDEA?
A Greener Festival is launching its annual competition for GREAT BIG GREEN IDEASThe competition is open to all festival fans to suggest new ideas to promote environmental friendliness at festivals and get events greener. Some of the very best ideas that improve festivals come from the people that go to them and we want to ask YOU how you want to get greener. Abandoned tents and personal carbon footprints to and from festivals are just two of the things we want fans to think about.Sometimes really simple ideas are the best so any ideas on reducing waste, recycling and preventing pollution would be really welcome as well. Last years entries including the winning entry from Natalie Porter which developed a scheme to reduce food waste at festivals, and runners up were a very clever idea from Gearoid Maher called “Reduction by Inflation”, focusing on reducing emissions from private cars, by offering a free tyre check and inflation service to all vehicles queuing to enter festival car parks and Ben Harris’s plans to convert human waste into free energy – by “putting the ‘pee’ back into power”.Great Big Green Ideas 2011 should be emailed to agreenerfestival@aol.com . Please put 'GREAT BIG GREEN IDEA' in the subject box. They need to be in English or with an English translation and should be no more than 100 words long. They need to be received by April 30th 2011 by midnight. The judges decisions are final and the best ideas will be published on this website.The top entries will be put into a draw for one winning and two runners up festival goodie bags each of which will include various music CDs and DVDs and other festival swag including an exclusive Glastonbury Festival crew T-shirt, AND the winner and the first runner up will both recieve a pair of return coach tickets to any UK festival serviced by our friends at Big Green Coach, the music travel company (and there are lots including Creamfields, V, Sonisphhere, End of the Road, Wakestock and Kendal Calling!) so you can travel greenly and cleanly and freely!
