Midem Green World Awards
Midem, an international trade show for the music industry, has created a new award designed to honour figures who advance ecologically-friendly live music events.
The Midem Green World Awards will be presented later this month to organizers of the Live Earth concerts, Denmark’s Roskilde Festival and Switzerland’s Paléo Festival Nyon.
Why those festivals? The Live Earth events used green power and biodegradable drinking cups and created carbon offsets to counteract the impact of travel by visiting celebrities. Roskilde is a four-day event that features recyclable drinking mugs. And Paléo is powered by wind and water energy sources.
