Plastic

The petition asks shops to stop marketing low-quality tents as “festival tents”, on the basis it encourages single-use.

The images of abandoned tents are more than just a comment on the environmental and ethical impacts of the festival itself.

In an effort to help the festival go plastic-free, United Utilities will be giving away 10,000 reusable water bottles at Kendal Calling.

All Live Nation venues and events are going plastic free

They’ll be banned from April 2020

Food waste has nearly triple the impact of plastic waste.

With the equivalent of a million plastic bottles.

All food and drink packaging will be totally compostable

Single-use plastic such as cups and cutlery will be banned at all events sponsored by the City Hall

They’re the most littered item on the planet.
