Travel Green to Life Festival
TRAVEL GREEN
REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Do you know that the biggest CO2 impact on festivals is simply through the audience travelling to get there?
Our shuttle buses from the train stations are really convenient. Leave your car at home and let the party start the moment you board the train!
Emissions: If you travel alone to the festival by car, you are emitting approximately TEN TIMES the amount of CO2 than if you travelled to the festival by bus and three and a half times as much as if you travelled by train.

We have put some excellent public transport options to get you to the festival without any fuss and with the minimum environmental impact as possible.
By Bike: Riding your bike to the festival will obviously put out the least amount of CO2 emissions.
By Vehicle: If you want to come by vehicle, travelling by coach to the festival is by far the lowest impact way if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint. Train is the next best option in terms of CO2 emissions.
Congestion: Coming to the festival by coach or train will not only reduce total CO2 emissions, it will also help to reduce congestion in the carparks and on the surrounding roads.
Coach Is Best: Coaches are the greenest form of motor transport with each journey generating less than 10% of CO2 of those who travel by car. Not to mention a solution for congestion. For each coach full of people, it’s estimated that this is equivalent to 25 cars off the road. So relax, let somebody else do the driving and do your bit for the environment.
