WINNER OF THE GREENER FESTIVAL AWARD 2010

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE GREENER FESTIVAL AWARDS 2010:

The first winners of the Greener Festival Award 2010 have been announced – and we have a record breaking eight Australian festivals getting our prestigious award, topped by Peats Ridge Festival whose team won our Outstanding Award for 2010. These brilliant festivals who eventually made the grade in Australia (nearly double the number of last year) are a testament to the real efforts Australian festivals are making to get green clean, and lead the fight against climate change.


Peats Ridge Festival - Winner of the Outstanding Award:

Peats Ridge Festival is one of those events where you know you’re going to be getting down and getting dirty but it’s all in such an enlightened way that you really feel good about revelling. Some of the artwork is just fabulous, a tree made out of recycled mobile phones, the trash Temple-an inflatable stage made from last years left over tents and bunting from recycled banners. Walking from organic food stalls, drinking your refillable Love One water-all profits fund drinking well pumps in Africa- and eating organic local produce from the Eden mini-market. Shopping is bought from Sydney market stall holders selling bags who previous lives included inner tubes and the Eco-living area expands the mind where you can do a workshop with vibrant permaculture enthusiasts, brush up on your composting skills or ask questions about sustainable housing. Peats Ridge Festival really does include a greener alternative to everything.
