British festivals are utter rubbish!

This infuriating-fun visual brain-teaser took the average person over a minute to solve! How quickly can you find the VIP lanyard, in the TRASH?

*Answer image available upon request!

The UK's biggest FESTIVALS churn out over 1,600 TONNES of RUBBISH!

Let's put that into perspective... That's as HEAVY as:

2500 COWS
OR
250 T-REX
OR
200 ELEPHANTS
OR
20 SPACE SHUTTLES
OR
15 BLUE WHALES
OR
2 + 1/2 STATUES OF CHRIST THE REDEEMER (located in Rio de Janerio)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

June 2017 - An 800-strong clean-up crew descended on the Glastonbury site following the exit of 200,000 revellers, to tackle around 1,650 tonnes of waste - the most extensive cleanup effort in history!

This 1,650 tonnes of waste include:
- 5,000 abandoned tents
- 6,500 sleeping bags
- 400 gazebos
- 54 tonnes of cans and plastic bottles
- 41 tonnes of cardboard
- 66 tonnes of scrap metal
- 3,500 airbeds
- 2,200 chairs
- 950 rolled mats

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUT IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE THIS WAY:

For CAMPERS & ATTENDEES, why not consider the following:

- Only pack what is absolutely essential - Remember to only take the bare minimum
- Take home the tent - clean it up and save it for another festival, recycle it or donate to a homeless or refugee charity.
- Put your rubbish in bins and recycle points
- Bring reusable cutlery, crockery and cups
- Share transport or use public transport

FOOD & DRINK PROVIDERS can support the environment through:

- Use biodegradable cups and food containers
- Implement recycling rewards for customers e.g. half price drink in exchange for 20 recycled cups
- Bring compost bins and recycling facilities
