Our very own Ella Ward sends round a sustainability update every Friday for the Work.Life team, but we think this is something everyone should see. Here's this weeks instalment: Coldplay’s greener tour 💚 In 2019 the band Coldplay pledged to not tour again until it could be done with lower impact. In 2021 they announced their 12-point plan to reduce the tour's carbon footprint by 50%.Now in 2024, they have shared that the Music of Spheres World Tour (2022-2024) has so far surpassed their CO2 emissions reduction target, hitting a 59% reduction on a show-by-show comparison. Here are some highlights and key changes made for the Music of Spheres World Tour: ✅ One tree has been planted for each concertgoer, totalling so far 7 million trees across 24 counties  ✅ Stages sets built with sustainable, reusable materials and show confetti is 100% biodegradable  ✅ Kinetic dance floors, energy-storing stationary bikes and solar panels have generated an average of 17kWh during each show, used to power the venue  ✅ 72% of all tour waste has been diverted from landfills and sent for reuse, recycling or composting  ✅ The tour route has been consciously planned to reduce air travel. Where air travel is necessary they pay a surcharge to use or supply sustainable aviation fuel These are just a couple of highlights, every aspect of the tour has been carefully considered. The band has also financially contributed to a number of excellent environmental and socially conscious projects and charities. That’s what I call leading by example! As a B-corp, sustainability is something we're constantly in conversation about.

🌿 Sustainable Practices in Festival Planning: A Necessity for Our Future 🌿 As we plan the next season of festivals, it's imperative to prioritise sustainability. Festivals, by nature, can generate significant waste and environmental impact. However, by embracing sustainable practices, we can celebrate responsibly and protect our planet. Here are key areas to focus on: 1. Waste Reduction: Implement comprehensive recycling and composting programs. Encourage attendees to bring reusable items and provide clear disposal stations. 2. Eco-Friendly Materials: Opt for biodegradable or recyclable materials in everything from decorations to food packaging. Avoid single-use plastics and invest in sustainable alternatives. 3. Community Involvement: Engage local communities in the planning process. Collaborate with local environmental groups and volunteers to promote sustainability and educate attendees. Let's spotlight festivals leading the way in sustainability: - Glastonbury Festival: Known for its robust environmental policies, including banning single-use plastics and providing recycling points throughout the site. - Shambala Festival: A pioneer in waste management, achieving a 100% waste diversion rate from landfill and actively promoting reusable cups and plates. - Lightning in a Bottle: Implements extensive composting and recycling initiatives, along with using renewable energy sources. • Dark Mofo (Tasmania): This festival focuses on minimizing environmental impact through waste reduction strategies, energy efficiency, and encouraging public transport to reduce carbon emissions. • Feast at the Brisbane Powerhouse: Known for its commitment to sustainability, the festival uses local and organic produce, eliminates single-use plastics, and engages the community in eco-friendly initiatives. Sustainability is not just a trend; it's a responsibility. By adopting eco-friendly practices, we ensure that the joy of festivals can be enjoyed by future generations. Let's commit to making every event a step towards a greener future. 🌍✨ #Sustainability #FestivalPlanning #EcoFriendly #WasteReduction #CommunityInvolvement #GreenFestivals #themandalasocial

We need to start celebrating our festivals in an eco-conscious way. As we are entering a season of joy, and togetherness, it’s time to think about how our decisions can change the world. A festival, in my opinion, may be a strong vehicle for social transformation.  Here are some ideas on how we can all become more mindful: 1. Sustainable Gifting: Give environmentally conscious presents. Handcrafted goods, eco-friendly commodities, or experiences. 2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Decorations and packing tend to be abundant at festivals. Reusing decorations, choosing eco-friendly packaging, and recycling whenever you can are all excellent ways to reduce waste. 3. Support Local: Using local products, shop for festival needs. Your decisions can benefit local communities and artisans. 4. Give Back: Festivals are also an opportunity to express gratitude. Think about how you can make a difference at another festival by volunteering or contributing. How are you planning to change your celebrations so that it doesn’t hurt Planet Earth? #Festivals #Sustainability #PositiveChange

Is there still a place for the Burning Man event in 2024? Following yesterday's post covering the most sustainable festivals around the world, we got more than a few messages asking where is #BurningMan on our list and how sustainable is the dessert event happening next month in Black Rock, Nevada. As most of you probably know, the Burning Man project is more than just a single event, it is more of a movement and an ecosystem for creators, artists and community with projects domestically and internationally with a history going back all the way to the late 80's. With philanthropy, art programs, community support, collaboration and a long tradition and legacy. While all the above brings a lot of positive impact, we can't ignore the environmental impact of the Black Rock event occurring every year in the Nevada dessert, and has been under the spotlight following last year's weather events. environmental impact related to the Burning Man project: The festival 80,000 participants leave a substantial carbon footprint, emitting over 100,000 tons of CO2 annually. Most of the carbon footprint is related to travel and transportation to and from the event. Every year there is an airport built and operated at Black Rock for private planes owners for the sole purpose of attending the festival. While the organizers have stated they aspire to make the event carbon neutral by 2030, some experts do not think they will meet the ambitious goal. The burning Man event has become very popular in recent years amongst finance, tech and venture-capital crowds alongside celebrities and has grown far from the original event in 1986. In the next few year the organisers will have to choose the path forward and adopt more aggressive environmental goals like other festivals have done already, changing narratives and behaviors to fit new and upcoming climate standards or become a thing of the past for next generations.

The yesterday practice of Tomorrowland I had to do give my response on today's news on the the refusal of the festival Tomorrowland to shift completely to reusable cups. It's hard to expose the full nuance in one sentence, so here the full story. The narrative that is now created by Tomorrowland, is that it would be stupid to throw away the 3 million single use cups they have in stock and replace those with reusable. This makes absolute sense and hard to argue against. But the key question is why Tomorrowland has those 3 million cups on stock in the first place whilst they knew this shift to reuse was inevitable and legislation was in the making. With such a name, one could expect they have a better read on 'tomorrow'. Until today, their story was focused on why reuse is not as ecological compared to single use, using again an 'independent' life cycle study to prove their point. The reusable cups are not reused enough to provide the ecological benefit. An argument that keeps popping up in this discussion. And to my surprise, for an organisation that has reinvented the world of festivals with such inspiration and creativity, they couldn't find creative ways to make sure the cups are used more intensely. Intensity of use is crucial in any reuse model and should be the key succes parameter. But it takes innovation and persistence to get there, the positive environmental impact will be there. Until then, let's all do our best to make this the new normal. Tomorrowland is a fantastic festival. Respect for what they have accomplished. But with that succes comes a responsibility. The responsibility to demonstrate that disposability has no place in tomorrows reality. One cannot underestimate the impact of this somewhat sneaky communication that reinforces this image that green measures are only there to annoy people. How could they force us to destroy 3 million cups in the name of the environment! A mea culpa would be better in place to apologies for having 3 million single use cups in stock. All kudos the #zualdemir in this case for sticking to the plan. And please... don't recycle those cups into a festival tent as I read in the communication. Do also think further then tomorrow. #tomorrowland #reuse #futurevision #reusereducerecycle https://lnkd.in/ednqwRcJ
