It's very interesting Helen. I thought what Massive Attack did was great and I loved the whole approach by Walk the Plank to Dark Skies.

I guess festivals, like living, is never going to be carbon neutral is it? But if they all work towards getting emissions down then that can only be a good thing. I do think there are so many now and a lot of it is just lip service. It's good to see some real examples.

And politically arts orgs that fall into Reform's LAs and receive funding from ACE and have conflicting reporting/evaluation - it must be a nightmare.

Thanks for a very interesting read. Have fun in Edinburgh.

Thanks Margaret, yep it’s so difficult especially as you’re reliant on suppliers and audiences committing to taking action too. But that’s what we all need to do if we’re going to shift the dial
