Next Generation recycler - Ruth, Maker Sunshine Festival 2008
The Maker Green Team is a unique UK based volunteer constituted 'not for profit' community events recycling organisation. Currently we receive zero funding from public or private trust bodies. Our operations are totally dependent on the good will and private funding from our membership & third party festival organisations.
News: August 2008Post Sunrise Celebration the Maker Green Team facilitated all waste provision at the annual 2000 Trees Festival in Gloucestershire. This event was a complete success and was operated by 30 volunteers including core members. Real Festivals Limited (the organisers) and farmer John once again thanked us for our asolute cover and reconmended us as the UK's premier events recycling organisation by our unique methodology at sites. Five menbers of the Maker Green Team assisted Mid Devon Community Recycling's participation at Buddafield 2008. For those involved this was a very welcoming event and our members enjoyed working with a fresh organisation. At the end of July we facilitated our own event the Maker Sunshine Festival in Cornwall. As seems to be the pattern this summer this event was blighted by rain though this did not affect the spirits of our members. At Maker we used 'Dulav bins' (waste to energy) for the first time. Maker again was a complete success with all 50 volunteers involved. Post Maker we held a special Corum meeting and decided by a clear majority not to facilitate the Waveform Festival in Wiltshire in 2008. Instead we decided to plan & organise our own event to be held at Maker Heights towards the end of September 2008 named 'the Scumbusters Ball'.
