We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris. While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls(货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible.Notonly was the majority of the furniture /stalls /toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to throw rubbish in specially marked dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled. Fresh water was made available freely to everyone so that guests were not encouraged to buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.I found the experience extremely fun but also really interesting. Having never been to amusic festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic (有机的) fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations( 设施 ), and different areas, meaning there was something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and interesting, that doesnt cause great damage to the environment.
