this year, the organizers have decided to make the festival more environmentally friendly. No plastic bottles for single use will therefore be sold.
“We fight all the fight against the plastic, which is a huge task and we need to take a step in the right direction before it is too late,” says Emily Eavis, one of the organizers, to the Guardian.
the Organization Greenpeace estimates that almost 13 tons of plastic ends up in the oceans each year. Visitors to Glastonbury will be encouraged to use re-usable bottles, the drink will be served in recyclable jars and it will also increase the number of water stations where you can refill on his bottle.
Skräpberg weigh heavily on even the festivals closer to home. Last year, the Roskilde organizers around eight million Danish kroner in order to clean away just over 2 000 tonnes of rubbish, writes the Danish newspaper BT.
