Not every event will have access to this system. But if they do, and the waste stations are monitored by volunteers, events can actaully reach a 90% waste diversion rate.<BR/><BR/>So if you're attending a festival in the future, be aware that not all waste is trash any more. There may be someone telling you where you can stick it - and that's a good thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278573013831518319.post-82852057480650728802008-04-18T18:16:00.000-04:002008-04-18T18:16:00.000-04:00We just might be getting good at this "lovingthepl...We just might be getting good at this <BR/>"lovingtheplanetandourmusicsimultaneously" thing...<BR/><BR/>...two green thumbs up!<BR/>;)tTerri Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974450565619670462noreply@blogger.com
