Came across this article today about the Festival's Carbon Footprint.

TLDR

Glastonbury. The time of the summer when 200,000 revellers turn Somerset’s Worthy Farm into a manic, magical, often muddy tribute to music that produces a carbon footprint of -1,278.018 tonnes of CO2e.

That’s right: the biggest UK music festival, which attracts more than 200,000 attendees and creates 2,000 tonnes of rubbish each year, actually has a net positive impact on the climate.

To put this into perspective, if these punters didn’t go to Glastonbury, those same 200,000 fans would, in five days, produce 27,397.26 tonnes of CO2e.

That's a negative number  I believe? 

So, we turn the whole planet into a festival centered on the Pyramid stage and we're done. Planet saved. 

Sound good to me and no F5 either. 

Plan!
