Bumbershoot 2009!
Although it’s still a long way away, we’d like to invite you to spend Labor Day weekend with us in Seattle at BUMBERSHOOT! It promises to be a fantastic weekend full of incredible art, music and fun! In case you didn’t know, Bumbershoot is a pretty green event – they provide plenty of opportunities for you to recycle, refill waterbottles, whenever possible, turn their old signage into bags to sell at the following concert and so much more!
In addition to their own actions, for the past few years, NetGreen has partnered with Bumbershoot to calculate and offset the carbon footprint of all of the artists (including their equipment) to and from the concert. In 2008, Bumbershoot purchased over 250 tons of carbon offsets to balance the carbon footprint of the artist travel. At the time of your ticket purchase, you can buy 367 lbs. of carbon offsets to balance your carbon footprint from traveling to and from the concert for just $2.00! If you buy an offset online you’ll also get a really great custom made canvas tote bag for FREE! Help to clean up the atmosphere and get free stuff – how can you beat that??
We’ll be at the concert to answer any questions that you have about greenhouse gases or carbon footprints and to provide you with tips on how to lead a green lifestyle without sacrificing the things you love! Hope to see you there!
