THE LOVEBOX festival has signed up to the 10:10 challenge to reduce its carbon footprint and become even greener this year.

This year's event in Victoria Park has a line-up including Bow musician Dizzee Rascal, Grace Jones and Roxy Music and has pledged to have totally recyclable or biodegradable drinks containers at the festival.

It has joined the 10:10 campaign to make festivals throughout the UK even greener this year.

The campaign is encouraging people and businesses to cut their carbon footprint by ten per cent this year.
