At Glastonbury Festival, The Green Fields provide an environmentally friendly guide to life.
A number of entrances to the fields exist, but many will come along the old train track. Decorated by ca
mpaigners, the old track contains a number of climate inspired messages. ‘Did you know if all the bees died, life on earth would cease to exist after 60 years’, ‘Walk your kids to school’.
This year the Green Fields are showcasing a couple of low impact homes. Practical tips on how you can
insulate your walls with sheep wool, build with green timber and make but use of your natural environment.
Despite all this greeness, the festival motto ‘Love the farm, leave no trace’ has clearly not struck a chord with some.
