The Greening of Rock and Roll.

One of my first jobs "greening" large projects were rock festivals. I had the opportunity to turn Bonnaroo (80,000 attendees in Tennessee) into the greenest festival in North America.

Over four years we took them off 75,000 gallons of diesel-- first to biodiesel, then to wind-offset electricity, finally to a 50KW solar photovoltaic array which leads to a near-net zero CO2 festival. After a few years working with Bonaroo it was starting to generate a lot of attention even back in Montreal. 

 

Once the press started writing about the work I got hired to green New York City's River2River summer festival, Osheaga (they wanted to switch from Diesel to Biodiesel, I convinced them to leap to electricity so for 10 years now they have not been emitting CO2 for Osheaga, HeavyMTL, and Picnique Electronique!
