The masses started arriving yesterday. Gates opened at noon, and 'Roo-goers were ready. At left is the "before" shot -- the open grassy field (once home to cows and cow pies) that will soon be just a field of dirt covered in dirt-covered people and dirt-covered trash.
Unless Clean Vibes has something to do with it, that is. They're the expert trash-picker-uppers I mentioned last year. And if what I saw yesterday is any indication, they're back in full force.
Trash cans are covered with recycling messages, and "green info" sites have popped up all over the (super massive) Bonnaroo grounds. I even saw a large truck covered with a sign saying "Recycling Is Sexy." Yeah, it is. (There was a stripper on the Solar Stage to prove it!)
More "sexy" news to come.

a few of my favorites:
Carpool. The less stuff you stack, the more people you can pack!
Think reusable before you buy disposable!
Smokers - bring an ashtray!(my pet peeve)
will be interesting to see how they improve upon last years numbers and wonder what is going to the landfill instead of being recycled?
cheers,

However, let's hope that the stripper on stage was not, in fact, yet another case of the growing-in-popularity tactic employing and commodifying women's bodies as a resource to end environmental exploitation (and almost exclusively from heteronormative perspectives at that).
