Bonnaroo is one of the Greenest Festivals in the World! I know there are other nature lovers out there, lovers of the planet, people against Fossil Fuels, people who fight for Climate Justice, or are anti-gmo, etc. etc. I'm curious about what your favorite GREEN aspects of Bonnaroo are or what you do to make your Roo green. I'd love to learn more~~~~
For me I love:
Clean Vibes: They clean up every last little cigarette butt, recycle everything they can, and donate everything that they can that's left over. All of the compost they create keeps the farm healthy all year round. They work all day, for hours in the hot sun, covered in trash, and god bless their souls, they do it for free, or for the chance to catch a couple bands throughout the weekend.
Water filtration system: allows people to reuse bottles, instead of thousands of plastic bottles!!
Solar Stage: runs on complete solar power, which is now a permanent structure
Planet Roo: The whole place is filled with incredible organizations, teaching everyone about different issues and causes in the World. I personally love 350.org, Headcount.org and the NRDC (The Natural Resources Defense Council.)
Compostable utensils: The majority of the plates, cups and utensils in Centeroo and GA camping are compostable. (Not in VIP or backstage- which has been bought out by advertising.)
Vegan/Vegetarian food options: Meat-based diets have a huge impact on the environment, and I finally decided to go vegan this year. This will be my first vegan Roo. I'm excited to try all of the vegan options at Roo!! If you download the Bonnaroo app and search vendors, and search type of food, you can find all sorts of green options: local, organic, vegan, gluten-free, etc.
What are some of your favorite green aspects or ways you make your Roo green? One of my traditions is on Monday when all of the campers have left, I borrow a golf-cart, (my friend helps with the carts) and I go scoop up all of the ice that has been left in the machines that were unplugged that morning. The ice just sits there and melts all day, so I scoop it up & bring it to the Clean Vibes crew and give them the ice for free!! I've done it for the past four years and it's one of my favorite traditions and ways of giving back to my Roo community!!
This will be my 8th Bonnaroo in a row, and my 2nd Roo going solo. I always go down from NYC to Manchester without a ticket, or a ride home and let the Universe guide me. I can't wait to see what magic unfolds at my infinity year Bonnaroo~~~~~~~

Sunday, 11:30 AM Seed-Saving: The Original GMO In this workshop, learn how and why to save heirloom seeds from different types of vegetables. We'll also make seed bombs for all you guerrilla gardeners to take home.
I'm probably most excited to the Seed-Saving one. Pretty neat you'll get seed bombs to take home. The Solar Cafe in POD 3 has an amazing tofu scramble that is more like a warp/breakfast burrito. I ate one of those almost every morning, they were huge and I believe only $6. I usually pack cliff bars, trail mix, unfrosted toaster pastries, and granola bars for vegan snacks. With the cliff bars you just have to avoid ones that have chocolate because they'll melt or keep them in a plastic bag of some sort in your cooler. I'm also glad to see they will be selling reusable beer cups this year with $1 off refills, that'll be one of the first things I"ll be picking up.
Compostable utensils: The majority of the plates, cups and utensils in Centeroo and GA camping are compostable. (Not in VIP or backstage- which has been bought out by advertising.)
Please don't do like those barbarians at Glastonbury and think that means you can throw your plates, utensils, and half eaten food on the ground where you stand. Seriously.

Good point to bring up to people who don't understand the concept of Compost. It just means you can throw your non-plastic utensils and plates into the compost bin next to the trash can!
