Coldplay — along with Billie Eilish, Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson and others — are among the most environmentally friendly major touring artists in the world, and the group has provided an update on the sustainability initiatives in their “Music of the Spheres” World Tour, …
According to the report, the current tour:
– has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016-17;
– 66% of all tour waste has been diverted from landfills;
– 5 million trees have been planted (one for each concert goer). The trees will be supported to maturity via One Tree Planted;
– power for the show’s production (audio, lighting, lasers etc.) is provided from an electric battery system that uses 100% renewable energy;
– an average of 86% of the reusable, plant-based LED wristbands used by the audience during the show have been returned;
– each show has averaged 15kWh in power generated by in-venue solar installations, kinetic dance floors and power bikes – enough to power the C-stage performance each night and provide the crew with phone, laptop and tool-charging stations;
– 3,770 meals + 73 kg of toiletries has been donated from tour catering to the unhoused and unsheltered;
– 1 solar-powered River Interceptor, deployed in March 2021 in Malaysia via the Ocean Cleanup, has removed 158 tons of waste and 13 tons of ocean-bound plastic from the Klang River;
– Financial support has been provided to environmental organisations including ClientEarth,The Ocean Cleanup, Climeworks, Sea Shepherd, Project Seagrass, Sustainable Food Trust, Cleaner Seas Group, Food Forest Project, Knowledge Pele, Conservation Collective and others.

That’s an unkind thing to say about gay people.
They still stank.

The Music of the Spheres
In ancient Greece, Pythagoras and his followers thought that celestial bodies made music.
Of course, there is the time the Dave Matthews Band dumped 800 lbs of raw sewage from their diesel burning bus onto a tour boat full of people!
Hey, at least they didn’t make them listen to their music!
Hey hypocrites.....🖕
Nothing about them flying coach or taking a train or a bus. Hypocrites.
Nonsense. “Carbon footprint” means nothing. Wrong premise, quit the BS!!!!! Carbon is the basis for life; every molecule in our body relies on it, has it. Carbon dioxide is the basis for photosynthesis. More carbon dioxide, more plant growth. Do not allow these commie bastards to set the conversation on a false premise. Nonsense!!!
If only there were a way to cut their carbon footprint by 100%. There must be SOME way to achieve that! Let me ponder for a while.

They left out the most important statistic.
0% effect on the climate.
