As you know, Joobili is always on the look out for cool festivals. Well, we just discovered a little gem that most people haven’t heard of…yet. The GrassRoots Eco Music Festival will kick off on August 1 in the shadow of the Val de la Mare reservoir on the island of Jersey. What’s so cool about the festival you ask? GrassRoots combines great music with a mission to make sure the event is as green as the grass it sits on. And they mean it, we’re talking carbon offsets, a plastic-free eco village, green tickets, recycle stations and greener fuel for the generators. There is even an Green Police squad to (politely) enforce the ‘greeness’.
These days it’s increasingly popular to ‘go green’ but a lot of it is green marketing rather than eco action. It’s refreshing to find a festival that’s really trying to make a difference by letting actions speak louder than words. Whether you’re going for the groove or the green (or both) you won’t be disappointed.
