Also, apparently this festival was BS in the first place. My friend was a vendor and he witnessed two volunteers throwing out an entire unopened carton of bottled water. (And what was an eco-fest even doing with bottled water in the first place?) He said the festival management didn't care when he told them. --["Users/EileenF"]
