ELECTRIC PICNIC IS well underway in Stradbally, Co Laois, with nearly 60,000 people expected to attend the festival over the weekend.
Last year, a number of bulldozers were brought in to clear thousands of leftover tents and personal belongings left at the festival’s campsites.
Electric Picnic has asked festival-goers to take their tents home.
“Tents are impossible to recycle as they’re made from so many different materials and the reality is that anything left behind in the field will most likely be incinerated, which is a huge waste of earth’s limited resources,” it says on the festival’s website.
So, today we’re asking: Have you ever left your tent behind after a festival?

The watch is very hipster looking. I can see it now, people in Pubs glued to these things with their tounges hanging out as send Facebook updates.
It’s going to be a complete fail. I will bet any amount of money.
I think watchs will sell enough for profit at least.
I have €200 I would like to bet! What odds are you giving?
They released a Phone watch years ago?
Penny from Inspector Gadget had a computer watch and she is not a hipster.
Good stuff. Nice to hear there is strong competition in both VR and wearable tech.
Samsung working on “wearable glasses” … the future is now!
Does the watch tell the time??
An Oculius rift style vr headset???
I had one of those once and the wheels fell off…
With decent battery life the watch could be a winner. It only needs to do the basics of messaging, calling. You can set it as wifi hotspot and use any tablet/ipod/laptop device to do your browsing.
