cities at festivals such as glastonbury may never be the same again. in a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produceeco-friendly tentsmade of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.major festivals such as glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. for his final year project at the university of the west of england, james dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. and to cope with the british summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.taking inspiration from a japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, mr dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called myhabs.the design won an award at the annual new designers exhibition after mr dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.to raise money for the idea, he toured the citys private companies which fund new businesses and found a supporter in the finance group mint. he introduced his idea to four of mints directors and won their support. mint has committed around500,000 to myhab and taken a share of 30 per cent in mr dunlops business. the first myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.mr dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the london olympics. for music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. they can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior(外部的) advertising space.the biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with glastonbury having some 150,000 each year.

to the literary treasure trove of books lining the shelves of todays libraries. in addition to writing interesting material, many famous writers, such as edgar allan poe, were larger-than-life characters with personal histories that are as interesting to read as the stories they wrote. poes rocky life included being driven off from the united states military academy at west point in 1831 and an ongoing battle with alcohol. yet, despite heavy gambling debts, poor health, and terrible unemployment, poe managed to produce a body of popular works, including “the raven” and “the murders in the rue morgue.”herman melville, author of moby dick, once lived among the man-eaters in the marquesas islands and wrote unusual tales inspired by his years of service in the u.s. navy. dublin-born oscar wilde was noted for his charismatic personality, his outrageous lifestyle, and creating witty catchphrases such as, “nothing succeeds like excess.” d.h. lawrence wrote shameful novels that were often cut, and anne rice led a double life writing bestselling horrible novels under her real name and using “a.n. roquelaure” for the lowbrow unhealthy novels she penned on the side. nonconformist(不墨守成规的)author and naturalist henry david thoreau once fled to the woods and generated enough interesting material to fill his noted book walden. thoreau wrote on the issue of passive resistance protest in his essay “civil disobedience” and served time in jail for refusing tax payments in protest of the united states governments policy towards slavery. american short story writer o. henrys colorful life was ruined by tragic events, such as being accused and sentenced for stealing money from an austin, texas bank. despite his success selling his short stories, o. henry struggled financially and was nearly bankrupt
