They wanted to reduce their carbon footprint by half and they have achieved more: a 59% reduction in CO2. This is what the London group Coldplay has achieved on their latest tour and it affects everything that a concert of such magnitude entails: lighting, meals, garbage generated, bottles and transportation not only for the band and its equipment, but also for each of the spectators.

Additionally, for every ticket sold They have planted one tree, seven million in total. But the list of measures aimed at reducing its environmental impact does not end there: it also they have eliminated trips, they have chosen less polluting options and have asked their public to get to the stadiums on foot, by bike, by public transport or by sharing private transport if they no longer have another option.

The environmental commitment continues: inside the stadiums they installed free water fountains to avoid the consumption of plastic bottles and whoever wanted – and had energy – could charge the batteries that powered the concert jumping on trampolines or pedaling on special bicycles like the ones that appear in the video that heads these lines.

It seems that what they proposed has worked and the public has supported them, as they report on their website. 86% of the audience returned the bracelets that light up during the concert instead of taking them home.

Despite everything, it is still inevitable to generate garbage, but 72% of it was recycled, reused or sent to compost. As if that were not enough, they also collaborate with different environmental organizations around the world that, among other things, clean seas and rivers of the garbage that reaches them. The group has made it clear that whoever wants, can.
