Music festivals without the mud

I like giant music festivals- what’s not to like? Well, the mud, the cold, and the total lack of privacy for starters. And what about all that waste? Glass bottles, plastic containers, and empty potato chip bags (that’s “crisps” for you Brits!) can lead to a major case of eco-guilt for festival attendees.

Thankfully, 2009 brings good news for eco-concious festival goers. Not only have major music festivals like Glastonbury and Bestival gone green, but the clever folks behind MyHab have come up with a better way for you to recuperate in style. 

Glastonbury Festival is one of the highlights of the British summer. Or lowlights, some may say, as it invariably seems the clouds burst that particular weekend.

Revellers rush back to their tents to wait for the rain to subside. But recently, it has come to light that cows living on the farm where the festival takes place have been choking on metal tent pegs left behind. Has an answer been found?
