Festival season begins for the Green Festival Man

Posted on 08 June 2009

Ostrich, snails, aligator, usually the stranger the better for me, just check out my fun with bacon (http://greenguysglobal.com/blog/meat-bu … ng-smoking).

Looking for 20 other meat-eaters to join me between Fri 12th – Mon 15th JUNE and try out vegetarianism.

NO MEAT FOR 4 DAYS – EASY?

SIGNUP http://www.pledgebank.com/4DayVeggie OR text ‘pledge 4DayVeggie’ to 60022 (in the UK only)

Glasto 2008 : 16 people tried

CAN WE BEAT THEM?

People go vegetarian for many different reasons but for me it’s about the environment.

Reports say vegetarians have halve the carbon footprint of their meat eating counterparts.

I’ll be writing from the Isle of Wight festival on Green Guys Global, where I’ll be trying out:

  • A solar oven
  • A solar charger
  • Homebrew
  • Living cheap – camping green

Today I’ve been building a vegetarian food package that includes home made elderflower champagne, wild garlic pesto and ingredients for bannock, curry, veggie burgers and a fried egg breakfast roll.  I’ve even got a mesh tea ball incase I find any nettles on site.
