Car sharing is a great way to take climate action, last year, our footprint from Audience, Crew and Artist travel was nearly 500 tonnes of CO2e, which equates to over 50% of the festival’s impact!
There were approximately 3.08 people in each vehicle. Can we challenge you to fill your car with 4 people? If each of those vehicles seated 4 people instead – emissions would drop by over 200 tonnes of CO2e.
We understand not everyone can travel in shared transport, or fill a car easily. But if you are able to, give it a try! Sharing your car journeys has the potential to reduce the festival’s carbon footprint considerably.
How long does it take to drive?
Here are some distances, to help you gauge your journey:
- From Birmingham it is only 45 miles and takes a ridiculous 47 minutes.
- From Bristol it is 120 miles and takes a very manageable 2 hours.
- From London it is 80 miles and takes a very do-able 2 hours.
- From Sheffield it is 95 miles and takes a measly 1 and half hours.
- From Penzance it is a long way – but it’s well worth it!
