"Strummerville - A Don Lett's Film" 23:30-
“Letts said of his film, ‘In a cultural climate that feels like punk never happened, Strummerville (the film) serves as a timely reminder of a way forward. It worked back then and it can work again.’ To see Joe’s ethos in practice leaves you with a lump in your throat. As he said ‘Everybody has a story to tell,’ and this film explains how his organization helps a new generation tell theirs.”

Strummerville is a registered charity that aims to create new opportunities for aspiring musicians. Set up by the friends and family of Joe Strummer in the year after his death, the charity seeks to reflect Joe’s unique contribution to the music world by offering support, resources and performance opportunities to artists who would not normally have access to them.

Environmental issues Fuji Rock Festival tackles

Global Warming is an urgent issue for everyone

Aiming at the 'harmonious coexistence of nature and humans', Fuji Rock Festival has made various attempts every year to reduce environmental emissions from the event. Why don't you start trying something you can do to help the environment? Your action will change the future of the earth.

Challenge to reduce CO2 emission by using clean energy

'NEW ENERGY' to operate the Festival

Since 2005, the Festival has introduced the campaign 'NEW POWER GEAR' in an attempt to reduce CO2 emission by introducing Bio Diesel Fuel (BDF*), which aims to lower pollution by refining oil from recycled cooking oil, and solar power. The use of clean energy has expanded to all energy in FIELD OF HEAVEN, AVALON FIELD, BOARD WALK, mokudo tei and some energy in campsite.

[6,600 litre of BDF contributed to reduction of CO2 by 17,434kg]
* Achievement in 2009:
BDF (33 drums =6,600 litre) was used as fuel for the power generators and the power-supply car for stages to reduce 17,424kg of CO2 ( assuming 1 litre of light oil produces 2.64kg of CO2).

*Bio Diesel Fuel (BDF):
CO2 created by burning is considered to be offset by the amount of CO2 absorbed in the process of growing plants.

Clean Energy Promotion Campaign

The Festival has introduced various campaigns as a part of clean energy awareness promotion

[Let's keep playing the Festival's theme song 'Let's go to the country' by Kiyoshiro Imawano]
2,039 people participated to have a go on the pedal power bicycle generator at the entrance gate to keep playing the Festival's theme song 'Let's go to the country' by Kiyoshiro Imawano. Participants received a special NEW POWER GEAR original green power certificate.

Also experimented were 'power gerating floor (power generated by stomping on floor)', 'frying eggs by solar power' and a now popular 'solar power mobile phone charger' at NGO village.

Participating in the global activities

Fuji Rock Festival has joined the international environmental body 'FUTURE FOREST' in 2002 and planted trees at various locations in the world to offset CO2 produced in the event. In 2006, the Festival also joined the launch of the international environmental fund 'Global Cool', which was founded to prevent global warming. The Festival has offered oppotunities for guests to think about global environmental issues by supporting a variety of activities from global to grass root levels.

Recycling within the Festival

Zero Rubbish Guidance

Since 1998, the international NGO 'A SEED JAPAN' has been leading Fuji Rock Festival’s recycling program. The 'No rubbish' campaign works in co-operation with many volunteers and visitors to prevent littering and to promote the recycling of waste. Fuji Rock aims to be the 'cleanest festival in the world'.

Recycling projects

Collected resources are recycled to be used as eco-goods in the following year.
***Rubbish bags made from recycled plastic bottles
***Toilet paper made from recycled paper cups and cigarette packs
***Recycled paper made from paper utensils and chopsticks

In addition, various projects were implemented to promote awareness towards recycling

[Plastic bottles transformed into staff jackets]
supported by THE NORTH FACE/MITSUBISHI MOTORS

The plastic bottles collected in the previous year were re-generated into fabric, to create 2,000 staff jackets. A jacket takes 10 plastic bottles. 20,000 bottles (500kg) created 2,000 jackets.

[Chopsticks transformed into particle boards]

Used chopsticks were collected to be recycled into particle boards that can be used as fuels for heating and boiler facilities.

Environmentally friendly utensils

All food stalls utilise more environmentally friendly eating utensils and chopsticks made from wood by domestic lumber thinning.
***Utensils made from non-wood materials such as sugarcane trash
***chopsticks made from wood by domestic lumber thinning, which also contribute to regeneration of woods
*** Cups made from 100% bio-degradable materials of plant origin (trial introduction)

NGO VILLAGE

‘NGO VILLAGE' located in the Avalon Field is where you can face social issues that you may keep a distance from in daily life, by talking with each NGO staff and workshops.

This year's theme is 'global warming/natural energy' and 'biodiversity'

Fuji Rock Festival is looking for grass root NGO organisations in a relatively small scale that would like to participate to introduce 'social issues' and provide the audience opportunities to make action.

Barrier-free 'Board Walk'

Creating a barrier-free 'Board Walk' in the Festival

Since 2002, over 1,700 volunteers and Naeba local residents have worked in collaboration to build the board walk (Naeba Independet Board Walk) to create an access route for wheelchair users. Donations and supports from artists and audience made its foundation and BOARD WALK has become a very organic 1.5km long path which is still extending. It shows a different face during day and night. Please experience it with your own eyes!
