Saw a crowd of young people at the bus stop at Tesco ClareHall and they were obviously from EP and waiting on the bus to sooooooomwhere? How tf did they end up in Coolock?
They looked like they hadn’t a breeze. Normally I’d ask say an oap if they need guidance at a bus stop but these kids looked that bewildered I doubt they knew where they were.
Nonetheless, I laughed at my own memories 😂

I thought people were leaving them behind for charities to use?
Or are the tents gonna be dumped?

No, you see it’s ok because there is a ban on disposable e-cigarettes and you buy a reusable plastic cup so everything is entirely carbon neutral. Ignore the piles of rubbish left behind, totally inconsequential and accidental and as long as we continue we will be fine because everyone thinks they are doing their best and this generation has tried really hard.

Potential for a serious cash in on the old deposit return scheme for those cleaning up.

Alot of dopes who probably consider themselves climate conscious too.

Yep and I bet 90% of them are middle class kids who lecture everyone & anyone about the environment when they get half a chance lol

When did tents ever become viewed as disposable items?

Will people be out now collecting bottles for the return deposit thing ? Wonder how they will manage that, must be hundreds

More shame should be felt by festival goers who don’t know how to leave a place as they found it.
In saying that, I’d hope there’s adequate facilities for handling waste and litter down there.

What do you expect? It’s not a religious festival.

That’s the eco campsite

I’m surprised there haven’t been people here justifying it by saying it happens at other festivals too.
Also, this sort of takes the shine off the organiser’s big announcement of how the festival “went green” this year. 😬
The clean up is covered by the ticket price so wtf is the problem here ?

part of the ticket price goes towards cleaning up. all this rubbish is going to end up in the same place, a landfill.
i can’t vouch for the waste management system on site so i’m unsure if a better system might have mitigated some of this
i wasn’t there this year but i’ve seen it much worse than this

Every year there are 5 or 6 cars in the car park weeks later.
Ok you can just dump your tent when the festival is over but how the fuck do you not bother about collecting your car.

I was working the 2nd last oxygen and almost one of the last few to leave. I saw a line of 100 people picking up rubbish on the main fields, awesome.
Then we drove by the horror of the camp site. There were cars turned sideways amongst hundreds of tents and wellies.
Disgraceful waste.

At Oxegen back in the early 2000s half the tents would have been on fire too. So progress I guess?

Absolutely disgraceful behavior leaving shit all around like that….. I don’t get why people think this is acceptable to do… Like fucking hell at least bring black bin bags for you to put your shit in and not leave it there….
No wonder why the earth and mother nature are suffering

Should be cancelled for next year as punishment.
Scandalous Joe.
The pilgrims were wearing crotchless briefs Joe.
Not a can or plastic bottle to be seen
