In exciting news SPLENDOUR organisers can confirm the return of the GREEN TICKET which this
year will go one step further in tackling climate change. Last year 31% of SPLENDOUR IN THE
GRASS patrons took up the option to offset their average travel emissions neutralising over 860
tonnes of carbon. This year the GREEN TICKET option will allow punters to neutralise their
average carbon emissions over a 48-hour period (not just their travel emissions). Australians
generate on average a total of 28 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions or 77kg a day. Each
individual GREEN TICKET this year will neutralise 144kg of carbon (i.e. covering two days)
making the ticket holder climate neutral for the duration of the event. Our goal is to make
Splendour 100% carbon neutral and we believe we can go close to achieving this goal in 2008
with the support of our punters. To find out more about becoming carbon neutral visit
www.climatefriendly.com.
In keeping with SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS tradition, each year event organisers handpick a
local community organisation to be the beneficiary of funds raised through a $2.00 (per ticket)
contribution from every event ticket sold. This year the Splendour crew will split proceeds of
these contributions between the Byron Bay Hospital and WIRES Northern Rivers. The Byron Bay
Hospital will use their share of funds raised to purchase some much needed medical
equipment, while WIRES (Wildlife Information and Rescue Service) will use their contribution to
fund an awareness program designed to ensure the preservation of the native Wildlife.
