Glastonbury’s Michael Eavis praised for his sustainable beard in National Beard Week
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has praised the founder of the Glastonbury Festival Michael Eavis for wearing a fully sustainable beard as part of National Beard Week 2020.
National Beard Week seeks to promote positive images of the hirsute and call out prejudice against facial hair.
Michael Eavis won Beard of the Decade in December 2009, but 10 years on his beard is still going strong:

Beard Liberation Front organiser Keith Flett said, Glastonbury is not taking place this year but Michael Eavis and his beard remain very much a national treasure, the very epitome of sustainable beard power.
