TRAVEL
BY COACH
National Express provides direct services to London from all over the UK, and if you book in advance you can travel to London for as little as £1. To book your travel click www.nationalexpress.com/wireless

Coach travel is the most environmentally friendly form of public transport and in 2006 an estimated 285,000 tCO2e were saved from using coach instead of car (data ECCM). This is equivalent to over 5 billion kettles boiling or 6.5 billion televisions powered for an hour. So by choosing to use National Express coach instead of a car to get to London for the O2 Wireless festival you really are reducing your carbon footprint.
TRAVEL
CARBON OFFSETTING

Trying to get to the festival/event in an environmentally friendly way, but still want to do more?   Donate a few pence to offset the carbon emitted by travelling to the festival/event:

Climate change is a pressing global issue. Nevertheless, there are things that we can all do.

We are committed to encouraging and providing more sustainable transport options to O2 Wireless Festival, and would advise all fans to travel to and from the event using public transport where possible.

We would also like to offer customers the opportunity to offset their unavoidable carbon emissions associated with travelling to this event.

If you would like to participate in this scheme, there is an option to add 40p to your order on the shipping page. The figure of 40p represents the average per person CO2 emissions associated with audience travel to and from the concert. It was deduced using results of transport surveys and transport modelling along with approved DEFRA conversion figures. The funds will purchase Gold Standard Voluntary Emissions Reductions (VER's) from Emission:Statement who also support UK based environmental organisations to promote the solutions to climate change 'locally' as well as 'globally'.

Emission:Statement was established following repeated requests for high quality and transparent carbon offset from clients across the music industry.  Music artists and organisations who had carried out considerable carbon reduction, wanted to offset their remaining unavoidable business, travel and event emissions.


The Gold Standard is an independent, transparent, internationally recognized benchmark for ‘high quality’ energy efficiency or renewable energy projects. Our offset meets strict sustainable development criteria as validated by independent UN accredited bodies. Gold Standard is also the only offset supported by Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and WWF.

For more information on the offset scheme go to www.emissionstatement.co.uk
