>> Rockskilde, one of Europe's largest rock music extravaganzas created an environmentally friendly campsite for this year's event, which
began on July 9 in the Danish capital Copenhagen. "Campers were encouraged to recycle their garbage, and to hop on wired exercise bikes to

Esben Danielson, the spokesperson of the event, said.
