Isn't that more about coal and trees, rather than oil and animals? Most of the coal was formed in the 'Carboniferous' I think
Yes I was simplifying but you’re right hence the name of the era. apologies to those who i misled into thinking that oil did come from the bodies of dinosaurs, but my point was back then things (including dinosaurs) didn’t rot / bacteria and shrooms are too new - “But when those trees died, the bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that today would have chewed the dead wood into smaller and smaller bits were missing, or as Ward and Kirschvink put it, they “were not yet present.”

Indeed I did know this.
can you imagine the mess of deadthings not breaking down? 'm not sure i could have coped with mounds of dead stuff - even if it wasn't rotting

Trees also store CO2 in their root system which, in turn puts it into the ground. Fungal growth in and around the root system also takes part.
It's almost like a well designed eco system all working together.So burning a tree does not release all the CO2 it captured in it's life, far from it.
Also do not forget that as it absorbs CO2 it releases oxygen, the very oxygen we all need to breathe.talking of fungal growth - did you know why fossil fuels from dinosaurs exist? Because back then when the animals died there wasn't the fungus or bacteria to break them down there is today - so they just became oil. It wouldn't happen now if we left dead things they would break down - bacteria and fungus have come along way since then.

it does, but its re-cycling CO2 so in theory is CO2 neutral, i think it works sort-of like this: as the tree grows it take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which becomes the tree mass, and when the tree is burned it releases that same CO2 back into the atmosphere.
only Co2 however - it ignores all the pollutants released by burning stuff - and pollution is also a driver of climate breakdown not just levels of CO2 - which change heat/energy levels in the system causing change. Pollution tends to magnify the climatic conditions
Of course pollution is mainly an ecological argument in terms of the twin issues we face it's more the biodiversity crisis side of things - living biodiversity tends not to do very well in polluted spaces - humans on the other hand seem to be able to thrive.

dishi rishi doing a speech at 4:30...binning some of these green crap targets...getting the petrolhead vote.
I love the way they are saying they are helping people in a cost of living crisis - by keeping them chained to ever increasing fossil fuel prices 🤣

Weyes Blood would be a superb Garden Stage headliner. Also, shout out to Cory Hanson, who produced the best 'guitar' album of the year. Saw him at a tiny venue in Bristol the week before EOTR and he was brilliant.
This ^^^^ ❤️

Going green shouldn't mean living like someone in the third world, we have the technology to make things better AND greener, no need to put up with this rubbish.
I'm sorry but I think you are in for a shock over the next decade if you think Dorset is going to solve a sustainable transition with high tech, or if you think we will be living like we have since we relied on Empire. We are rapidly sliding back to being the 'sick man of Europe' -
The current water companies are on the brink of totally messing up fresh water provision at scale, the government moving the goalposts to make water pollution an acceptable outcome is going to result in sizeable issues things will go down hill rapidly once that bites. Dorset currently has 5 days of light rain forecast in the next 50 days, even hosepipe bans are not going to cut it.
Compost loos save tens of litres of water per person per event and give back to the environment in the way nature was designed. They're sustainable, sanitary, the antidote to sewage pollution and the need for fertilisers - why try to reinvent the wheel?
As others have said provide more urinals, better lighting, and make sitting down mandatory, and the problem solves itself. Yes there needs be more cups, or I think hessian bags hung in each cubicle full of sawdust work better.

Lee Fields asking blokes in the crowd "does this lady belong to you?" split the crowd!
that was a fantastic moment - the inhalation across the crowd was audible!

Oh, and this is what a sold out camper van field looks like, if you were wondering. Taken Sunday morning.
is that because there was the 'other acmpervan field' as well I wonder?

Any idea when these go on sale?

I'm a relatively fit healthy male, no problems for me at all
But even I could see if you're female , children or have mobility issues it was pretty dire
3 steep steps, Slippy, no light in there , no hooks to hang your bag
agree - i do think they need some work in design - hooks are expected - perhaps lower front to ensure everyone sits down, the steps is a harder issue to solve with the need for the seat to be over the collectors. I'd add lighting in the roof is also something even permaculture events have.

“The Committee on Climate Change estimates that around two-thirds of the emissions reductions we have to achieve in the UK are going to require some kind of change in how people live. There’s a huge opportunity here to role-model these shifts in our own (event) spaces – influencing and nudging people."

ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practice to help control an event’s environmental impact – in everything from plastic cups and compatible toilets to the use of public transport. It addresses all stages of an event’s supply chain, and includes monitoring and measuring guidelines, KPIs, purchasing choices, circularity and climate impact. Julie’s Bicycle, meanwhile, offers its own free resources for water and waste management, as well as a carbon calculator.
In addition to Scope 3, ESOS and SECR reporting.
Festival goers should be aware the kind of festivals you may have become used to are not what you can expect in the coming years.

There is absolutely no way The National will play EOTR these days, let alone in the lower status headline slot, they've just sold out two nights at Ally Pally
if EOTR have been reading my feedback/suggestion emails they could have booked them a few years ago for 2024.

Who's bright idea was it to get rid of 90% of the urinals, and have long drops with limited lighting and three steep, metal steps? It's an accident waiting to happen
It was mine

The first year in all the years we’ve been going that our daughter has showed an interest and says it’s a great line-up.
I’m just determined not to miss Angel Olsen again.

I interviewed him a few times for this parish - rather enjoyed it.
