LITTER -- I forgot about this.....

[gratedenini]

Sat night--- main stage had finished and we spent quite a bit of time around the Songlines tent before descending on the path to the SD...... when I turned around and surveyed the scene before me (as pissed as i was) I was totally shocked,angry and dismayed.

Picture the scene-- the grassed area in front of the main stage --- quite brightly lit --- only a handful of people there... absolutely strewn with all kind of litter!

I was (still am) flaggergasted..... the plastic pints reflecting like cats eyes on the motorway. Thousands of em.

And --here at this festival which had probably the most comprehensive range of Litter bins we`ve ever came across at a festival---lots of em--all clearly marked (and emptied afawcs).

I know--- yer towrds the front of the stage--yer ale comes--yer sup it off--down goes the glass... who doesnt do that?

BUT-- yer could pick em up afterwards and put em away.

The compares words about green and helping the environment etc only a little time before--- just shows you overall what soceity we live in--we dont give a shit us.

From what we seen of the campsite on leaving tbh--was pretty good with less than average shite left... but that night and those plastic galsses will remain as a memory of Wychwood along with the great ones.

Den --not Massively Green--but caring enough.

Was anyone else a bit confuuuuused about what to do with the I'm-not-a-plastic-glass beer glasses?

I did a right hokeycokey round the litter points more than once trying to decide "plastic" or "all other waste"...(but I'd rather have this problem than no recycling at all or overflowing bins!)

?? Were they not plastic then? I didnt examine em in such detail--but I put my collection of 65 into the PLASTIC bin.

Will I be condemned as a Non-Green now?
