Music festivals are like buffets: A chance to try everything and you feel kind of dirty when it’s done.

With a younger and more progressive leaning audience, most music festivals strive to lessen the C02 footprint. No easy task when you consider the insurmountable waste - not every recyclable is recycled, porta pottys, etc.- and travel which is like a medieval gypsy pilgrimage. Bonnaroo - the annual festival responsible for striking a balance between indie-rock and jamnation with legendary performances - is no different but now they’re offering something completely different: A climate change compilation.

Songs by My Morning Jacket, Wilco, and more are captured for The Best of Bonnaroo a download offered by Bonnaroo, voter registration organization Head Count, and environmental group the NRDC Action Fund to help pass upcoming climate legislation in the U.S. Senate.
