Great Big Green Ideas competition opens!
Start suggesting environmentally-friendly ideas now!
14 March 2011
The contest 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
year’s 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

They need to be in English or with an English translation and should be no more than 100 words long and need to

bags each of which will include various CDs, DVDs and other festival swag including an exclusive Glastonbury Festival crew
T-shirt, AND two pairs of return coach tickets to any UK festival serviced by our friends at Big Green Coach (and there are
