Bumbershoot’s green efforts

I feel that so many companies that are going green today, use it for the PR and not for the actual purpose of going gree.  Here’s an example from this weekends Bumbershoot festival in Seattle. 

One of Bumbershoot’s largest advertising campaignes this year was how it was going to be such a green event.  Here’s one line from their website, that was also plastered on many different posters around town:

We are pleased to announce a series of innovative and interactive strategies to make this year’s Bumbershoot the greenest ever!

Well from the looks and sounds of it, one of those strategies was not allowing water bottles into Memorial Stadium, the large concert stage used during the show.  Maybe they’re using some "innovative" strategy here, but from the looks of it, it’s not that green.
