Because of Liberation Day (or &#8216;Bevrijdingsdag&#8217; as we call it), there a lot of free open-air music festivals in parks all across the Netherlands to celebrate our <a href=\"http:\/\/reddepaddo.nl\/?p=91\" target=\"_blank\">liberty<\/a>. Since the weather was awesome and there was free live music, I had to be there. The coolest thing I saw at the festival in Utrecht was not any artist in particular but this thing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/bevrijdingsdag-009.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-245\" title=\"Solar powered Bit-Stage\" src=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/bevrijdingsdag-009.jpg\" alt=\"Solar powered Bit-Stage\" width=\"370\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">What you are seeing right here is a DJ booth, including 4 speakers with good sound, on a car, all powered by solar panels! What a great eco-friendly idea! I like going to free parties, but often wonder about the effect or impact all these parties have on the environment. Especially parties in forests or in nature attended by a lot of eco-loving people. It always seemed a bit hypocritical to me to claim to love nature, yet cause such ecological ruckus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This stage offers what seems to be an &#8216;eco-friendly&#8217; option for parties and quite possibly carbon neutral. I also found two videos of the stage live in action yesterday at the festival. You can choose either <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robob.nl\/node\/77\" target=\"_blank\">funky<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robob.nl\/node\/78\" target=\"_blank\">Balkan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apparently the car&#8217;s batteries <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robob.nl\/bit-stage\" target=\"_blank\">can also be charged by pedaling<\/a>.
