What if we just move the tents outside the environment?
@CameronDev
It's one of those rare occasions where it would be better for the environment if "festival tents" were made out of "cardboard" or "cardboard derivatives..."
@SenatorCollins
Eh, that still wastes the energy used to process the material, so still unideal. But probably better?
Could change the model so that the festival provides the tents for $0 (or some tiny fee), but with a $500 bond. Trash the tent, lose $500, look after it and it gets re-used next festival.
@CameronDev
Sure!
Cardboard isn't a perfect solution... nor was I suggesting it was any kid of solution.
Edit: I forgot it was you who'd already referenced the sketch! Sorry!
I was just making a joke referencing this sketch, featuring Senator Collins:
