greengigs is the world's first organization promoting a sustainable and climate friendly approach to oraganizing concerts and music festivals. We educate, entertain and make a difference!!Our mission and vision:1. Going beyond carbon neutral. Offsetting the carbon emissions generated the concert itself, as well as any travel by the bands and public or or other related activities.
2. Promoting our concerts through the web and avoid massive leaflets production.
3. Encouraging the use of green energy to power amplifiers and light shows.
4. Pushing the usage of low consumption lighting and plugs during the concerts.
5. Ecouraging the use of public transport to go to concerts.
6. Ensuring all waste is recycled.Our role is to educate the bands, the public, the music industry about better use of resources and not contributing to global warming. Our main aim to establish a green label for the music industry to ensure a long-term solution and sustainability.GREENGIG FESTIVAL, JUNE 15th, 20:00 @ the VK (POSTPONED TILL FURTHER NOTICE) WATCH THIS SPACE FOR A NEW DATE!!Sioen (BE) http://www.myspace.com/sioenthebandSandi Thom (UK) http://www.myspace.com/sandithom"We see global warming as the ultimate wake-up call for Humanity to prove that we deserve to live on this beautiful planet.
