10:10 initiative - 10 percent reduction at big-name music festivals

The folks orchestrating the 10:10 campaign have been busy again! Now they have got ten leading music festivals that are taking place in the UK this summer on board with their aim of reducing carbon emissions by ten per cent. Big names such as Reading, Lovebox, The Big Chill, Latitude and Bestival are just some of the big-name events participating in the 10:10 initiative. As an example, solar powered lighting and compostable toilets are being introduced to a few festivals this year, such as Bestival. A report published by Oxford University illustrated that with 500 festivals and more taking place this year alone in the UK, this would contribute 84,000 tons of carbon emissions. This figure is mainly due to people travelling to and from the festivals, litter and diesel-powered generators used to power the sites.

Well done 10:10, you have Powermaster’s full support!
