All in all, a festival done right/green! As an attendee of this year’s event, I came away with a sense that the people and the causes rocked Bonnaroo just as hard as the musical performances.

And glad you enjoyed yourself! Mostly everyone who is involved with Bonnaroo cares greatly about creating the cleanest event possible, and while there's still a way to go before we can say that we have a truly benign eco effective fest, we're all pretty happy with the way its been getting better and better each year and having the space for constant green experimentation and tweaking (like the 300 gallons of VOC free paint which didn't off gas into the lungs of everyone [with the dust!], the experimental EVs riding around, and a constantly improving waste process...). Be sure to get in touch next year for full media treatment, and get ready for a huge leap in green-ness at next years roo!! Hey Olivia thanks so much for the kind words!

On balance, it’s an interesting train of thought. The essay is currently in print in one volume with Turtle Island, which is in and of itself worth the read. Enjoy, ERD OZ,

This reminds me of an essay Gary Snyder wrote years ago about cities as temporary, ecologically sensitive gatherings for artistic, social, and commercial purposes. Interesting.
