Glastonbury Festival 2010
Good Causes
The three Worthy causes at Glastonbury
Glastonbury isn’t only famous for music and mud, we’re known across the world as a green Festival. While other festivals prize profit above all, we actively support the work of our three official joint causes – Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid – whose message seems more urgent than ever after the failure of the Copenhagen climate talks.
40th Anniversary
This year we’re 40, but hitting middle age doesn’t mean we don’t still have that radical flame burning in our hearts! In 1970 it was all about peace, love and understanding, flowers in your hair, all that jazz, and in 2010 it still is, but nowadays showing the love means watching out for the planet and its people, and that’s what we’re all going to do.
Love the Farm – Leave no Trace
Glastonbury has a big impact on all our lives, but it should have a small impact on the Earth. So while we’re all having the time of our lives let’s also make time to clean up the mess we make along the way, which means taking responsibility for our own litter and not bringing things we can’t reuse, making sure that tents, trainers and chairs don’t end up in landfill sites or incinerators. Recycle what you can, don’t pee in the hedge and appreciate the clean water as millions of people around the world still don’t have access to it.
We’re in it together!
