In 2009 Roskilde Festival focuses on global climate changes. We call the campaign Green Footsteps. By leaving small, green footsteps at Roskilde Festival, we are all making a difference and are part of sending a signal to the rest of the world.

We would like our audience to go along with the idea to make the best impact. Therefore, we will make it an advantage for all festival-goers to save the environment.

Make reservation at camping with your green footstep

We want to reward all those who make an environmental effort at home, on the way to and at Roskilde Festival. So, for instance, if you leave your car at home and instead come to the festival by public transport, you leave a green footstep. And if you remember to turn off the stand-by power at home while being at Roskilde Festival, you are also leaving a green footstep.

Festival-goers with enough green footsteps can reserve a spot at the camping area. In that way, you have secured an advantageous spot – even before the camping area opens.

The festival-goers with the most green footsteps will be part of the festival's Climate Community – a centrally located camping quarter primarily running on CO₂-neutral energy. The energy will be generated thanks to your efforts, e.g. through intense pedalling on energy-producing bicycles and dance floors.

How these green footsteps are left and registered, we will tell you more about in a later newsmail. But we can already now reveal that the first green footstep can be left by supporting windmills in Malawi when buying your ticket.
