Massive Attack prove 98% emission reduction possible
In August last year Massive Attack staged a ‘proof of concept’ one-day festival in Bristol to show that low carbon festivals are doable. I was lucky enough to attend the event and I wrote an extensive report on it at the time.
The Tyndall Centre for Climate Research has now released the findings from analysing the festival’s emissions, showing that it produced an incredible 98% decrease in power emissions from comparable shows.
Vegan food, incentives to travel by rail and a fleet of electric vehicles reduced catering and haulage emissions by 89% and 70% respectively.
The report also showed that 5% of attendees opted to fly to the festival and in doing so they generated 64% of the event’s overall greenhouse gases.
