Does that generate power? I think in runs the milking plant and the farm now? It’s on that link…. In late 2018, Worthy Farm installed a new anaerobic digester. The anaerobic digester transforms farm waste into renewable energy that powers Worthy Farm and Festival offices year round as well as some production areas during the Festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the days of Empire had ended long ago. Vile. We'd been at Pilton for almost three weeks, left thr Friday after and the following Monday we landed at Henley for the first time. Due to getting everything ready for Henley we hadn't had time to decompress. It was like landing on another planet. Met a few people I know who would immediately say, or I would get it in first, 'what the hell are YOU doing here?' It's actually a 'proper' festival with bands, bars, food, comedy tent and an enormous amount of art, loads by classic famous names. The attendees, well, it was a first for me. Proper evening wear is compulsory and everyone really goes for it. I was able to keep my shabby look as I was an exhibitor although I'm ashamed to admit that I did dress up one evening. Lot's of lovely people and plenty of not so much. Champagne vending machine with an attendant so you didn't have to faff about with the damn contraption oneself. They do get on it there, plenty of chaps take their jackets off later on and some of the more edgy ones tie their ties around their heads like headbands and dance wildly. May go back next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus Gwertigan Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 I am a bit of a green Nazi and am very militant in my views. I first went to Glastonbury in my 30s in 2003 and at the time I was uni studying Environmental Protection. I was shocked at its apparent carbon footprint. I wrote a few essays on it. Bollocks to growing trees you need people to reduce their carbon usage. Using veg oil for a General Electric generator is at this time taking up land we need for food. I know most people don't like Melvin Benn and FR. He has a part with Glastonbury but he is looking at hooking parts of a festival to the National Grid. Glastonbury can learn from that as it always has. I always thought Glasto was the benchmark but they are not scared to use others ideas. I have attended many festivals (many through efests) and worked at a good few on the littler/environment side. I have worked at placed that were 100% renuible even using veg oil but still need diesel as a back up. I attend a festival like I did in the military just carrying everything I need on my back and either using public transport or lift share. In the military you take all your shit home with you. At a fest I use my smallest tent and dress and wash outside of my tent. I have no problem with nakedness, it may be a military thing but I don't see a body be as a sex thing.. people seem to want to want their own space for everything. Sorry I am waffling. I went to Sunrise with my 17 year old daughter. She found work there and I got off my face on spiked key. I sleep nakef and on the last morning I just got up and strided out to the loos. I sorted myself out and my daughter pulled me up. She said that she had to seen a few things as and a bloke had walked across the field naked with his 12 inch cock. The only argument I had was at least O have 5 kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There now - I have complete and utter control over you. Oh, what to do.? Oh, I'm so spoilt for choice. What to do, what to do? Oh, I know what to do - just be yourself. That's what you should do. Nothing to see here ladies and gentlemen, nothing to see here. Please move on. I don't want to offend anybody, but do remember (at all times) that In the land of the blind, the One Eyed Man is King.
