THE CO-OPERATIVE CAMBRIDGE FOLK FESTIVAL WINS MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD FOR SECOND YEAR RUNNING
The Co-operative Cambridge Festival has once again been awarded the prestigious A Greener Festival Award 2009 for their efforts in promoting environmentally friendly music festivals.
A Greener Festival was set up in 2006 to champion sustainable events and environmentally friendly music and arts festivals. The Award is based on a 56-point checklist which covers green office policies, energy use and carbon reduction, travel and transport, support for green initiatives, waste management, recycling, water use and environmental protection and noise pollution and the Awards organisers have a team of environmental auditors who visit each festival to assess environmental good practice and effective green policies.
The Co-operative Cambridge Folk Festival joins the likes of Glastonbury, T In The Park and Isle of Wight Festival as recipients of this leading eco-award.
Eddie Barcan, Folk Festival organiser said: "We’re absolutely thrilled to receive The Greener Festival Award for the second year running. It’s great to be recognised for our hard work in sustaining and improving our green credentials and we intend to carry on in this way.
”A big thank you has to go to all staff involved and to our loyal audience for embracing our greener ways and making The Co-operative Cambridge Folk Festival a sell-out and award-winning event once again.”
