The Greening of Bonnaroo

Music Acts Check Their Carbon at the Door

Bonaroo, the widely popular week-long music festival held in Nashville, Tennessee has recently pledged to devote considerable “monetary investment” to turn the event green.

Held each summer, the concert attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and this year featured some of the hottest acts in music, including Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Tom Petty, and many more.

Realizing the heavy footprint so many people in one spot can have, the Bonaroo organizers have decided to act locally and hope for global change. They have vowed “to educate our attendees and bring Global Warming and other environmental issues into the mainstream.” Additionally, concert planners have created Planet Roo, the onsite footprint at Bonnaroo which features environmentally / socially responsible organizations, organic food and beverage brands, a green cafÈ, a solar powered stage, yoga / dance classes, speakers and more. ‘Green Tags’ are sold in Planet Roo giving attendees the opportunity to offset emissions from their trip to Bonnaroo.
