This time last year, we learned that the Big Green Gathering was not going ahead. Due to last year’s problems, there won’t be one this year either. Last year, for all those who had wanted to go, or just wanted a virtual staycation, I hosted the Big Green Blog Festival, five days of carnival-style posts with music, food, films and more on five different environmental themes; the BGBF even had its own flash mob!
I’m going to do the same next week (26-30th July 2010), but I need your help. Last year’s themes were Water, Energy, Transport, Waste and Climate Change. I can do those again, or we can swap them for new themes – what do you think?
I also need films to play in the solar-powered cinema, suitable music videos for the main stage, yummy recipes for the on-site café, blog posts on topics that could be talks in the yurt or workshops in the permaculture garden. And destinations for the flash mob! All on a sustainable theme, please. If you’d like to help out and host your own sections of the BGBG then do let me know!
If you have ideas for themes, then do feel free to leave them in the comments. If you have ideas for content or links to send me then it will be more of a surprise to everyone if we keep the line-up secret :) so send me those via email :)
Those of you who just want to rock up and pitch your virtual tent on Monday will be more than welcome – just remember to bring your friends along! Keep up with all the latest BGBG information via the Twitter tag #bgbg.
