BRING BACK BROTHERS 2LT BOTTLES

[Rufus Gwertigan]

i'm not going to bite,

but for all you deluded people who want a green festival then stay at home - it better for the environment

the festival is a huge f**king carbon foot print - go and witter about banning supermarket plastic bags while buying products from all over the world

the % of litter produced is so minute it unbelievable

why not ban the the fireworks for putting heavy metals into the atmosphere

or all the inefficient light bulbs all over the site,

etc..

your just concentrating on the minor points - open your eyes

Apart from travel, is the carbon footprint of a festival goer higher or lower at a festival as compared to home?

Certainly more is recycled than there would be in the average home at the weekend. Less goes to landfill than would if they where at home. The consumption of gas and electicity and water is far less, saving local resources.

I really do like this forum, I check it every other day.

but the amount shite spouted here is unbelievable laughable

bollox

your talking from your backside how old are you?

give me figures!

lol

[wweerr208]

18. Why is that relavant??

[Rufus Gwertigan]

what that your talking bollox or coming up with a statement a 3yo could poke holes in is irrelevant

Edited May 7, 2010 by Rufus Gwertigan

[wweerr208]

Obviously I am.

What holes?

Do you have real evidence back by your peers that the carbon footprint for SOME festival goers is less at a festival than if they stayed at home??

water isn't exactly high on the carbon foot print - except the stuff you buy from service station on the way from home that's been to god knows how many distribution centres

[wweerr208]

anyway

my argument is bring back 2litre bottles of brothers

and down with fascists

[wweerr208]

Isn't it. How does it get treated then Mr f**kwit?? Does not the increase of detergents, etc in water increase the chemical oxygen demand of the water? How does that get treated at the water recycling plants Mr f**kwit?. Is it better the stuff at Glastonbury, or the stuff most people will shove down their sinks/toilets at home.

I will tackle all of your questions one by one if I may.

glasto use tap water? wtf are you on about

[wweerr208]

I hate you

[Rufus Gwertigan]

I love you

[markeee]

ahh the 2litre bottles, i remember them my first glasto..2007 walking round with a nice 2l bottle of brothers good times

[wweerr208]

Drainage water idiot.

Water gets treated when you flush the stuff at home. It don't come straight back up.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

so glasto is carbon -ve on drainage water?

not forgetting all the chemicals in portaloos (+ the making of portaloos + the transporation) or chemicals in long drops + fuel to transport sewage to a processing plant???

[wweerr208]

No. Far from it. I was putting water in as an example of things included in the whole "environment thingy"

To be fair Glastonbury claims to be Carbon Neutral as it plants trees to off set it's output. I don't believe Carbon sinks should be used like that, as the carbon emission are still being produced. (The trees will die one day)

However, taken into the whole context of 177,000 people, and the tonnage waste etc against recycling etc, Glastonbuiry compares better than many metropolitan authorities (not rural).

[Rufus Gwertigan]

keep the 2litre bottles and change the light bulbs in glasto to low wattage

[wweerr208]

They do as best as H&S will allow.

I am not been a c**t here, as I will happily rip the f**k out of anyone and any thing.

The work inolved in the collection, recycling etc of big plastic bottles is not worth it. Even if they are PET plastic, if that is mixed with others can render it useless. Putting recycled plastic in with others will send the lot to landfill.

You can get 3 pints for a tenner so take that.

(I know when I been played btw, but want to be smart)

[markeee]

ahh so it was to do with plastic

rumours i heard were about people getting wayyy too drunk on the big 2l bottles

[Rufus Gwertigan]

3pints is only 1704ml

dam it where is my extra 296ml???

not forgetting the dangers of spillage or the hassle of keep going back

[ramragon]

im quite happy with the paper cup next to the bus, suits me fine

[mikeb]

the point I originally tried to make is the reason to ban the 2ltr bottles is based on minor, minor, very subjective points - forced on to everyone. when in reality there are better fight to be had?

keep the 2litre bottles and change the light bulbs in glasto to low wattage

It was down to licencing, it is illegal to sell alcohol in anything other than approved measured units.
