Festivals go green with carbon offsetting
By admin on Jun 27, 2008 in Environment, Energy
Festival season is well and truly here with Glastonbury underway this weekend. To celebrate the festival scene in an eco-friendly way, Ibuyeco, the 100% carbon neutral car insurance provider, will offset emissions of people travelling to the Cornbury Music festival in Oxfordshire.
Ibuyeco is the headline sponsor of the festival, which is being held over the weekend of 5th and 6th July. The festival showcases a range of ecclectic music, including acts such as KT Tunstall, Beverley Knight, Crowded House, Paul Simon and The Bangles.
Hugh Phillmore, Cornbury Festival Organiser, commented: “We understand that bringing all the family and camping gear to Oxford for the weekend will mean most visitors have to use a car. It’s great then that ibuyeco, headline sponsor of the festival, is supporting our efforts to make Cornbury greener by offsetting CO2 emissions caused by families’ travel to the event.”
Ibuyeco offers insurance packages which offset 100% of a vehicle’s CO2 emissions for the duration of the policy. For every 1kg of the emissions produced by your vehicle’s driving each year, ibuyeco we arrange for 1kg to be saved by a climate friendly project elsewhere in the world.
