Comment on Jam Cruise Delivers 10K Trees, 12K Pairs of Shoes to Haiti by Samantha

A cruise ship averages about 30 to 40 feet for every gallon of fuel, discharging remnants and pollution into the water with every inch. No matter how “green” their other activities are, they cannot balance it against this huge waste of fuel and massive pollution of our water.

Yeah, I’m sure water at an urban festival like Outside Lands (in a place like SF, where water is already at a premium) comes at a much higher cost. Free would be nice, but a buck isn’t bad either. Anything is better than single-use plastic bottles at 4 bucks a pop or whatever…

And yes, they usually do the special cups for wine too

The free bike parking in the bike park was killer!

This is a brilliant idea. At Outside Lands, there were a lot of compostable beer cups all over the ground, but there were far less water bottles. If you brought your own bottle, they made you dump the water at the gate, but for a dollar, you could have it refilled with spring water. They were selling Dasani water, which is just filtered Sacramento water anyways, so the better water came at the refilling station as it was spring water. Of course, if you bought a souvenir bottle, you got it filled for free all weekend.

The idea of discounting the expensive festival beer prices is a great one, in addition to the reusable cup. I hope they did it for wine too:)

That’s how things should work–too bad others can’t behave similarly!!
