I was happy to see the festival's green initiatives, especially the fact that if you were following Monolith and Esurance on Facebook and Twitter, you heard them talk a lot about carpooling to the event.

I think the sponsor quote at the end of Planet Green's post sums it up pretty well... "What's great about the greening-the-concerts movement is that there's always room for more."

It's fantastic to see all the festivals trying to out-green each other, but expecting all the inebriated concertgoers to properly sort their composting, etc. just isn't going to happen. It's up to the festival organizers to take the biggest steps and try to guide people in the right direction, but ultimately people are there for the music, not a lifestyle lesson.
