"Such a great staff along with a very friendly festival crowd! Once again the mix has yielded an experience that really cannot be improved upon. Having said that, I am aware that somehow you will improve on it. Making possible the impossible. Magicians one and all!" --Ed Lunn, Oceano

Handy Tips for Green Campers

• Minimize the amount of packaging on products you buy
• Avoid buying over-packaged goods and individual portion packs
• Buy durable products, returnable bottles and containers that can be re-filled
• Look out for recycled goods and those packaged in recycled materials
• Cut down on packaging by buying your fruit and vegetables loose
• Buy fair-trade and organic food, drinks and products at stalls if possible
• Use re-sealable containers to keep your food fresh (this reduces the amount of plastic film and aluminum foil you throw away)
• Use rechargeable batteries
• Where you can, recycle what you cannot reuse
• Don't drop your litter. Use the bins and recycling units!
• Litter pickers are lovely! Please help them and make up for 'messy' times
• Car share or use public transport
• Turn off taps & showers when finished
• Don't leave rubbish or indeed your entire camping set behind!
• Re-use your carrier bags
• Take recycling and waste bags to keep you campsite clean & tidy
• Live by the 'LEAVE NO TRACE' philosophy.
