"It’s inspiring to see bands taking conscious steps toward sustainability, reminding us all of our shared responsibility."

I am sure many must have spent hours trying to book tickets for the Mumbai Coldplay concert happening in Mumbai in Jan 2025.? For me, It was a super crazy incident, with Book My Show platform getting crashed due to the heavy load of the public trying to log in at the same time to the system message saying that you are in a queue and there are 943576 people ahead of you for just 55000 seats at the concert, While this all can sound crazy, annoying and also disappointing if you did not get a ticket after trying for 4 hours. There are some interesting facts about COLDPLAYS concerts.. that happen around the worldtour done by them

The band just released a Sustainability Report.

So here is what Coldplay has done to reduce carbon footprint during their World Tour

·???????? They used plant-based LED wristbands at their concerts

·???????? They used Kinetic dance floor to generate energy at their concerts ***

·???????? They planted 1 tree for every ticket sold making 7 million new trees planted till date

·???????? The power for the shows production was generated using 100% renewable energy

In conclusion, terms like climate change, sustainability, and environmental responsibility often fill our conversations, but how many of us truly embrace small changes in our daily lives to foster a better world?

It’s inspiring to see bands taking conscious steps toward sustainability, reminding us all of our shared responsibility.
