Rick182 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 What's wrong with telling everyone to leave all the plastic there and then after it's over people can collect it and stick it in a big lorry and it can be destroyed in a way what won't damage the planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do a lot of work with one of the big ocean conservation charities and closing the loop (ie stopping it being produced in the first place) really is the only chance we have.

Cans on the other hand can be easily made into new cans again and again, no disposal needed. Edited March 6, 2019 by LeeHC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havors Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I cant remember previous years because I don't drink wine but other festivals sell the little bottles of wine (plastic).. hows that going to work? cant give glass bottles out for obvious reasons? Do they do wine in capri sun bottles? haha or a can of wine? In fact do any of the bars actually sell wine?? ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to know. I would have imagined some bars would sell the one glass (cup) plastic bottles... means they need a new vessel or all start serving on tap? On a side note... there is one plastic bottle i think a lot of men (possibly some women?) wont be able to do with out...... the big 3L comfort bottles...

Acid Loafers Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 I know barely anyone cares but I got this reply regarding milk from the festival. Quote Thank you for you enquiry. The policy does apply to milk also. This year, milk will be sold in recyclable containers. White Russians are back on the menu ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemicalBrother Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 For me, one of the most iconic sights at the pyramid stage is seeing the guy year after year selling Vodka Jellies - even in the fallow year I was lucky enough to meet him plying his trade at Beautiful Days. Can you sell individual Vodka Jelly in something other than little plastic pots??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paper ‘shot’ pots of the type you squirt your ketchup / mayo into at fast food places or on cross channel ferries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
