The Big Green: Pioneering Sustainability Through Music and Community
In the heart of Edinburgh, a transformative movement is grooving its way to a greener future. Meet The Big Green, an Edinburgh-based club night with a resounding mission: to amplify sustainability initiatives through the power of music and community.
Since its inception in May 2022, The Big Green has been orchestrating vibrant club events in Edinburgh every few months, each one a celebration of both music and sustainability. Operating on a non-profit model, their events have generated an impressive £1465 in support of various sustainability projects and charitable organizations across Scotland. This isn't just about dancing; it's about dancing with purpose.
This year, The Big Green is venturing beyond the Scottish borders to Dalston's Club Makossa, marking their inaugural event in London. The decision to expand was driven by a desire to engage and uplift local communities wherever the music takes them. For their London debut, the team felt compelled to contribute to a cause that resonates deeply with the Hackney neighbourhood.
At the forefront of this electrifying endeavour is Jed Dutton, the lead organiser and resident DJ of The Big Green. Under the moniker "Jedda," he shares the stage with local, exceptionally talented DJs at their events. These musical maestros weave a sonic tapestry that traverses genres, ranging from Disco and House to UK Garage and RnB, spanning eras from the 1970s to the contemporary scene. The dance-floor becomes a timeless realm where music and sustainability harmonise.
Mark your calendars for a night of music, connection, and purpose on Saturday, August 26th, 2023. The Big Green will be taking over the intimate setting of Dalston's Club Makossa, starting at 9 PM and carrying the groove into the late hours.
However, The Big Green's mission goes beyond just the beats. Their passion for sustainability is deeply intertwined with a commitment to community engagement and environmental education. This is evident in their partnership choices. The Big Green has previously supported remarkable organisations such as Earth in Common and The Green Team. Their collaboration with EcoActive for this event echoes their values perfectly.
"EcoActive embodies exactly the kind of project The Big Green is dedicated to supporting," states Jed Dutton. He emphasizes the significance of the "Think Global; Act Local" educational approach adopted by EcoActive. This approach not only spreads awareness about climate change on a local level but also offers vital support to communities grappling with isolation and climate-related concerns. For Jed, climate education forms the bedrock of a future where humanity coexists harmoniously with the natural world.
As the countdown begins for The Big Green's monumental London debut, there's a harmonious symphony in the making: a blend of beats, purpose, and community. Secure your tickets for an unforgettable night at Dalston's Club Makossa through this link: [Ticket Link].
