Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Announces Large Scale Greening Initiatives

It's great to hear about these types of iniatives. Large events such as concerts, sporting events and conferences use great deals of energy and produce a lot of waste.

I went to the 2005 Net Impact Conference at Stanford University this past November. Their goal was to be carbon-neutral. I don't know how successful they ultimately were, but I can say that they even the plastic containers our quick, portable lunches were served in (as well as the plastic utensils) were made to cleanly break down.

While that conference had "only" 1300 attendees, did you know the latest Super Bowl held in Detroit this past January was the 2nd annual carbon-neutral Super Bowl?

If you think of all the concerts, sporting events and conferences that occur every year, these types of initiatives can add up.
