The goal in life should be to leave our planet better then it was when we got here. One way to do this is by better waste management and recycling. there is a group of individuals called Green Police that walk through the Glastonbury Festival and educate people on this topic. With humor and creativity they are able to get the point across to individuals in the festival that the planet is under our watch. The Green Police give out little green bags hoping to encourage festival goers to take pride in their environment and clean up anything that needs picking up and throwing in the trash. Making the world a cleaner place one festival at a time.
