I Can Recycle That?




Featured Green Fest

Wanderlust takes place in beautiful Squaw Valley, California and combines a line-up of some very talented musicians with yoga classes taught by some of the world’s best yoga instructors.

The website explains that Wanderlust promoters aim to make this fest a “zero impact” event by focusing on important green issues such as: local sourcing, organics, reusability, carbon offsets, and sustainability. In addition, the fest has an informative video that educates viewers about carbon offsets and highlights information on some of their environmental initiatives.




What is Clean Vibes?

Clean Vibes was formed in 1997 to help reduce the impact of music festivals by providing recycling services as well as educating event attendees about how they can live “greener” lifestyles, both at a fest and at home. Clean Vibes also offers opportunities for volunteers to attend a festival free of charge in exchange for some assistance with recycling efforts.

Clean Vibes provides exemplary service to festival promoters and attendees around the country at festivals such as Bonnaroo, All Good Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, and Mountain Jam, to name a few.

Festivals Gone Green

This page highlights some festivals around the nation that are doing their part to form a community that is a little more environmentally-friendly.

The Coachella Festival in Indio, California has been going green for years. From carpooling incentives to a sound system that is powered by your friends running on hamster wheels, riding bikes, riding seesaws, etc. They make going green fun!
At the Green Music Festival in Chicago, you can enjoy great live music while you discover new ways to go green. Lots of great information, incentives and a green vendor village.
Bonnaroo, in Manchester, TN is striving to be the cleanest festival on the planet. There is composting, use of well water to cut down on water bottles, recycling and the use of renewable energy resources.
Gathering of the Vibes, in Bridgeport, CT is working toward their goal of becoming a zero-waste event by increasing recycling, composting and the use of renewable energy sources. They encourage and even reward you if you don’t take your car. Normally there is a $20.00 early entry fee per car for Thursday, but if you walk, bike or take mass transit, there is no additional fee!
Mountain Jam, in Hunter, NY wrote the following letter regarding Nitrous Oxide. Even if you indulge, you know it’s not good for you, but did you also know it is currently the biggest ozone-depleting substance emission? Educate yourself. NO NITROUS!!!
The Beloved Oregon Open Air Sacred Art and Music Festival, knows that music festivals can’t be completely sustainable but they are doing their part to not only reduce the negative environmental impact but also to have a positive effect on the Oregon Coastal ecosystem.
The Harmony Festival, in Santa Rosa, CA is making an effort to go green. They continue to encourage recycling and composting, with an emphasis on education of these topics.
The Gem State Jam is at the Old Idaho Penitentiary…check out this solar powered music festival. Need we say more?
The Jazz Reggae Festival at UCLA is committed to the environment. From using recycled paper and vegetable inks for flyers to the on-site Waste Separation program, they’ve got it going on.
The Joshua Tree Roots Festival has a solar-powered beer garden, a FREE water station and no plastic water bottles for sale. Wow!
