Midas powers Plant to the Beat for Festival Republic

Festival Republic called Midas into Blondin Park, Ealing in December, to provide power for the first Plant to the Beat, a Trees for Cities initiative.

More than 200 volunteers met the challenge of planting a mixture of 10,000 trees in a day, sewing the seeds for biodiversity in Ealing, and Midas provided for Festival Republic’s ‘Beat’.

The ‘woodland village’ featured a stage for a choir, drummers and DJs, along with structures providing participants with free vegetarian food, hot drinks and arts facilities for children.

Laura Pando, Festival Republic’s Sustainability Co-Ordinator, comments: “We worked with Trees for Cities to make Plant to the Beat a sustainable event and Midas’ commitment to 100 per cent biodiesel was a perfect fit.”
