The Coachella Vibe: eco-friendly travel options
The organizers of Coachella put a lot of effort into making the festival as eco-friendly as possible. For instance, visitors can buy a $10 water bottle, which can then be refilled at one of the numerous water stations in order to avoid excessive waste. In addition, performers at Coachella make use of solar powered DJ booths. To avoid pollution the initiative Carpoolchella was created: Whoever can prove that they got to Coachella by carpooling can take part in a big give-away and has the chance to win a lifetime VIP ticket. Taking the bus to get to the festival grounds is also a highly eco-friendly option – it is thus consistent with the spirit of Coachella.
