The Roskilde-festival in Denmark has an area called Green Camp that’s been around since 1998. Already in 1994 the festival begun their environmental-work and they assumed a policy with four programme points.

• Use of resources must be reduced as much as possible
• Environmental friendly products must be used when technically and financially possible, and to the extent that they do not represent any health hazard
• The festival must aim at a maximum level of waste recycling
• Utmost consideration must be paid to security - and the audience’s and volunteers’ health conditions
Green Camp has conditions on the people living there and it’s assumed that you keep your area around your tent clean and that you recycle your waste. They give out red garbage-bags to help with the recycling. The festivals recycling system is also working good and 97% of all the bottles and cans is returned.

The biggest demands are put on the food-stalls which should have an ecological range of food, they should recycle and keep their area clean.

If you want to live on Green Camp during the Roskilde-festival it has many perks compared to rest of the camp. It’s cleaner and you can with good conscience eat and live there. Try a healthier and greener alternative this time you go to Roskilde.
