Summer package tours are nothing new. Michigan's Rothbury Festival, however, has taken some Earth-conscious steps to stand out from the usual pack of natural resource hogs.
Taking place over the Fourth of July weekend at Double JJ Ranch, Rothbury is aiming to be the most environmentally sustainable music fest in the game. It already boasts the usual host of climate-friendly acts, including Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Phil Lesh, Primus, Thievery Corporation, Modest Mouse and more.

MAYBE it's the dreary spring weather, but I find myself in need of a boost. The brain has absorbed all it can about micro-renewables, organic farming and recycling, leaving more primitive desires: I need chocolate and celebrity gossip and I need them now.
A tray of Green & Black's minis takes care of the sugar craving, but while flicking through exclusive shots of Kerry Katona's afterbirth and lurid tales of Amy Winehouse's midnight trips to her local corner shop, I realise that you can't escape destiny. Our home-grown celebs might be otherwise engaged, but over in Hollywood, the stars are outdoing themselves trying to prove who's the greenest of them all.
