We are just waiting for the final results of our Greener Festival Awards scheme for 2009 to be announced – and in the meantime we thought we should ‘big up’ some of the people who make festivals green, clean and fun to be at. So a big THANK YOU to the Green Team at the West Beach Festival in California, a new entrant in our Awards scheme, cheers to The Green Police at the Glastonbury Festival, a pat on the back to the lovely litter pickets at Sonisphere, our hats are off to the bicycling medical team at the Atlanta Jazz Festival, we have nothing but admiration for the busy bees in the HIVE at the Isle of Wight Festival, we admire the hard work and efforts of lots festival organisers from all over Europe at the Bucks New University / Yourope greener festivals conference, the amazing people at the Eolica festival in the Canary Islands, our Awards design team at Keswick School, and we salute two of those lovely Oxfam volunteers who were busy painting everyone’s face blue this year to highlight climate change.

Cheers to all!
