This is the future tent. It was designed by Vanessa Harden and will last 3 days before biodegrading. It is also embedded with plant seeds, so something will grow where the tent was once pitched.
Apparently Vanessa designed this tent in response to the 40,000 tents which are abandoned at Glastonbury each year. That is a lot of tents. Are tents really cheap, are the people who go to Glastonbury filfthy rich and just don't care? Or is it the case that the Glastonbury Festival encourages the type of behaviour not fitting a civilised society? Do let me know.
What a great marketing idea for any muddy field event, not just Glastonbury!
ReplyDeleteNot excusing people's behaviour but tents covered in mud are virtually impossible to pack away or re-use and many are so cheap that they are treated as disposable. Why not market/bundle them with the event's tickets and make it possible to collect them on arrival to the festival?!
