Sustainability Unplugged

Concerts & Carbon

Season 1 Episode 24

In the latest episode of Sustainability Unplugged, we talk about the environmental impact of live music events—an industry that's surprisingly resource-hungry. While artists like Michael Jackson dreamed of using their concerts to raise millions for environmental causes, the reality is that the energy, waste, and carbon footprints of modern-day concerts are staggering. We spotlight the pop stars who are leading the way in sustainability, from Billie Eilish's eco-conscious tours with Reverb, to Coldplay's dedication to carbon neutrality. And finally, we discuss how you, as a fan, can make a difference by choosing sustainable venues, carpooling, recycling, and supporting artists with a green agenda. Tune in to hear all the ways the music industry is harmonizing with the planet—and how you can help amplify their efforts.
