The Big Green Gathering


My link of the day is The Big Green Gathering or The BGG for short.

The BGG takes place between the 1st-5th August 2007.

Heres what its all about, in their own words:
The Big Green Gathering is a 5 day camping event which is currently located in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. It has grown out of the original Green Gatherings of the 1980's and the Green Fields of Glastonbury Music Festival. It has developed organically in response to a desire from people within the green movement for a festival that was focused on Green issues. Now we have somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people expected this year. Staying Green is now a bigger challenge than ever.

The Big Green Gathering is for people who care about health, the environment, sustainability, our children's future and life in general. It is a celebration of our natural world and our place within it. As such it is a place for enjoyment, learning and fun. Unhealthy activities are not encouraged. The only things taken in excess should be love, peace, joy, and friendship.


So if you want to visit a true 'alternative' gathering which isnt some commercial venture, this is the place to be to learn about the environment, and what you can do to help.
