BONNAROO CARBON SHREDDERS
The Bonnaroo Carbon Shredders is joining forces with the
Urban Land Scouts this year. Urban Land Scouts will encourage us all to engage in acts of urban stewardship. You will have the chance to earn special badges as you complete the actions at the Carbon Shred booth in Planet Roo.
The Carbon Shredders booth offers a chance to engage YOU as an Urban Land Scout: from getting a bag of Bonnaroo Compost to seed swapping to mapping in your community. The Urban Land Scouts encourage people to engage in acts of urban stewardship. They are reverent to the land and committed to cultivating the health of both soil and plant communities. Stop by the Carbon Shredders booth this year to earn a patch from the Urban Land Scouts, ride a bike to power a lightbulb from CREx, check out the latest and greatest from Gardener's Supply and Green Mountain Coffee! All joining together to help you learn ways to reduce your carbon footprint!
The Urban Land Scouts
The Urban Land Scouts teach land stewardship for modern urban people. Scouts pass through a series of ten levels, building a more nuanced understanding of the land where they live, and earning beautiful badges along the way. Learn more and get started earning your badges at

First World Trash
Our bags and accessories are born in the junkyards of America, where we salvage seatbelts from old cars, and rescue billboards and tents before they’re chucked into landfills. The unusual origin of FWT’s products means that each bag is created to be the only one of its kind; every FWT product is as much an art piece and cultural relic as it is a hard-wearing tool for everyday living. First World Trash aims to design and manufacture bags from reclaimed materials and to promote environmental sustainability by providing an ecologically viable solution for the socially conscious consumer.
