The GreenFestivalMan at Glastonbury festival

Tags: , ,


Well I’ve arrived at Glastonbury Festival 2008. The organisers of this years festival have promised it to be the greenest festival yet, so i’m really looking forward to the next few days.

The Green Futures field claims to be here to make this a better world to live on.

In fact Glastonbury isn’t just a music festival, its here to make everyone’s future brighter. The Green Futures field is an important part of this.

The speakers tent hold diverse talks throughout the festival, ;Can the Torie Deliver a Green Agenda? with Caroline Lucas, Anthony Browne and Justin Rowlett.’, ‘Poetry’ and ‘Peak Oil’ with Shane Collins.

Amongst the jigsaw of solar panels, biodisel generators feeding the field is the world’s first solar-powered travelling cinema. A regular attraction that’s been operating here for 11 years.

A nearby camp can teach you anything from jewellery making to crafting wooden dishes. Yesterday I was taught how to light a fire with a strike steel.
