Green Mountain Green Camp Contest
Everybody coming to the festival can work together to help the festival be gentle on the earth! You can help out by using recycling and reusing barrels, composting food scraps and disposable containers, bringing a reusable water bottle, bringing earth-friendly soap, bringing snacks that use less packaging, carpooling and purchasing carbon credits to offset the rest!
To reward those who participate the most, we will have the Green Mountain Green Camp Contest. Figure out a creative way to set up camp that is earth-friendly and comfortable, and you may be able to win one of several prizes. Prizes include merchandise, earth-friendly products and tickets to future events!
Entrants will be required to document their eco-conscious ways in writing. The contest starts when you leave your house, so be sure to come up with a creative way to get to the show using very little gas, and you may want to purchase carbon credits to offset the rest! Photos (digital or print) help! |
