Don’t Bring Loo Roll!

Glastonbury Festival (Glastonbury Festival Line-Up 2007) has partnered with the people at Nouvelle to provide free rolls of 100% recycled loo paper to encouraging people to be as green as possible at this year’s Festival.

As well as handing out free rolls of recycled toilet tissue, Nouvelle is also helping with recycling collections at Glastonbury. It will provide free colour coded bin bags to enable festival goers to segregate waste for recycling.

Nouvelle toilet tissue is made from 100% high quality recycled paper from the roll to the core.

From the roll to another core : controversial Graffiti artist BANSKY has created a very-site-specific replica of the ancient Stonehenge monument, a “Henge monument and a World Heritage Site”, which consists of menhirs (large stones) in a circular formation. The Bansky monument consists of portable toilets in a circular formation into the world Heritage Site of the Glastonbury Festival.

The photograph taken by the graffiti artist himself and published in the UK Guardian shows a druidic figure standing atop the monument: “A lot of monuments are a bit rubbish,” he said, “but this really is a pile of crap.”

Let’s make money then?
