Leeds Fest Aftermath

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- There's a myth that your junk at festivals goes to charity. It doesn't. Most goes to landfill or incineration. It would be far too labour-intensive to dismantle and pack up all the tents. Salvage teams make a small impact but not much. Many tents are damaged or poor quality, and it's hard to find all the bits. Many contain other rubbish, rotting food and worse. And this is in a dry year - in wet years the problem is worse.
That is where memories are made
I left my stuff there and I feel terrible about it now. I will definitely leave no trace the next time I go to a festival.
Just a tad deep and philosophical towards the end there. 😁
I don’t understand why people don’t take they’re shit home like if your coming next year your gonna have to buy all that shit again so what’s the point
A lot of effort packing all the tents in, especially the big ones. And they would’ve been lazy as well lol
Most people don’t come again leeds is usually a 1 time experience, the people who do come back will take their stuff home.
Every man and his dog would have a the biggest comedown on earth, ain't no body got time for that
@@troystomper shouldn’t do drugs in the first place. Don’t defend this troglodyte behaviour.
i remember when i woke up from being drunk at sonisphere knebworth in 2011, the camp sites were completly empty of people but tents EVERYWHERE, but the one advantage of all of the mess and stuff left behind, is what you find. i found unopened bottles of jagermeister and beer and all sorts of booze, i found souvenirs of the festival like merch shirts all still in bags, some extra cash which was helpful for the hangover i had, i was there till around 4pm when everyone had cleared out the venue by like 12pm xD so i had so many tents to invade and loot. but i did feel bad for those who had to come and clean it all up, i got chatting to some of the people, they seemed down for the challenge and if i wasnt in such a bad state and at the time slightly concerned how i was going to get home being nearly 200 miles away with no form of means to get back home ( i did in the end by finding a security guard to contact family in the surronding town) i would of stayed and helped out. woulf of been so beneficial for me,
nice onee bruvaaa
They need a stronger emphisis on leaving no trace
They should donate all the tents and clothing that are still somewhat clean and useable.
The problem with the tents is they are not packed up. You would have to pay people to take them down, pack them up (sometimes parts are missing), and convey them to the right place, as well as all the infrastructure of managing a small army of packers. This becomes economically non-viable.

I bet that is a fucking goldmine. People still off their heads leaving all sorts of stuff behind
A minefield of puke and used condoms.
This is absolutely disgusting behaviour for which there is no excuse, a sad testament to our times and the disrespect of our current generation who are hardly functioning as human beings.
I go to several festivals every year with a group of friends (all blokes) We drink, we revel, we party and have a great time, however we tidy as we go.
Our rubbish is always put into the bins provided and our recycling (beer cans etc) is sorted and put in its designated bin also.
We take EVERYTHING back with us..I use the same tent, chair, sleeping bag etc again and again and again. We look after our equipment.
When we leave, the only telltake sign that we had even been there would be the slightly flattened grass of where our tents had been.
Scum that do this should be banned from every festival and campsite in the country.
I only went that one time in 2005, and even back then the place was like a bombsite, at least I still packed my stuff away.
If I don't feel like taking my tent home after a festival, or it's damaged or whatever Id at least dismantle it and chuck it on the recycle pile.
Best thing for anyone to do if they really can't bear taking it home is dismantle and pack away complete in original bag, with all pegs etc., then it might be picked up by salvage crews and passed on. It would take far too long for clear up crews to search out components and pack up tents - if not packed up, next stop landfill or incineration.
Just disgusting. Tents could be tagged and checked on the way out? No tent, £100 fine?
Hi there, I am writing from a sustainability campaign called Love Your Tent. Could we please use a snippet of this amazing footage in our latest film. We would obviously credit you on screen with your screen name or however you would like. Feel free to me to contact via this thread.
Do one called Hate Your Festivals.
Mine from 15 years ago is in the bloody attic and I felt bad about buying a 4 pack of crisps last week. Oh think of the children!!! Btw I'm longterm unemployed.
Hooman...
