Leeds Festival boss Melvin Benn has asked for the thousands attending this weekend’s event to be responsible and take their tent home.
When this weekend’s event concludes on Monday there will be thousands of people making their way home from the Bramham Park site. Melvin Benn , managing director of Festival Republic, who oversee Leeds Festival and its sister event Reading Festival has spoken about the collective environmental responsibility for those who attend the event.
Melvin said: “I’ve been measuring the carbon footprint here at Leeds and at Reading since 2008. Ultimately, the festival is about band’s and teenagers mainly. We have the equivalent of 90,000 teenage bedrooms and some of them can be messy.
