A crash course in changing the world.
While reading a friend's blog post on urgent evoke, I realised that already many german music festivals have sustainability programs. Almost every festival pays back a mortgage for collected waste, and some festivals have sustainability guidelines regarding their organisation. I found an interesting article in the german newspaper "Zeit": http://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2010-06/green-festivals. My favourite Festival, the Melt! Festival in Gräfenhainichen, even won the "YOUROPE Green ‘N’ Clean Festival Of The Year Award" in 2011. Information can be found on the Melt! Homepage:

I think sustainability at big music events, where a lot of waste is produced, is is not difficult to implement, and easy to transfer to other events of the same kind.
