How can we limit the ecological impact of major music shows?
While it’s essential to limit the ecological impact of live music events in a geo-localized way, i.e. at the venue, it’s also imperative to realize that despite our best efforts, there will always be a residual impact beyond this limit.
Humans Music encourages best practices to limit the environmental impact of concerts and festivals, both in terms of their organization (LEDs, renewable energies, waste sorting, etc.) and audience habits (consumption patterns, transport, etc.).
But this will never be enough!
So what do we do? Stop the concerts?
That’s what some people are advocating, at least to limit capacity, but that’s probably not going to happen.
On the one hand, the music industry has evolved towards increasingly spectacular musical shows, as this is how its business model has developed in recent years, benefiting both artists and the industry itself.
On the other hand, streaming has become a mode of consumption, and today’s live audiences are looking for much more than just a musical performance: they’re looking for a unique experience, an escape, a multi-sensory immersion, a shared community.
The only solution to date lies in restoring the Biosphere at every event.
CO2, wherever it is released or captured, has a global impact on living organisms on our planet.
The same applies to plastic, which ends up in rivers and oceans.
That’s why we’ve introduced the Music Planet Pack™.
A solution that can be attached to every concert ticket sold, for example, and which helps restore the biosphere by taking concrete action on climate, biodiversity and ocean protection in a sustainable and verifiable way thanks to the traceability of actions carried out in the field and the reporting provided at each performance.
Each Music Planet Pack™ thus helps regenerate the Planet as it triggers the following actions:
1m² of crops planted in regenerative agriculture projects
100kg of CO₂ minimum removed from the atmosphere thanks to the creation of new carbon sinks
1 tree planted in reforestation projects
The equivalent of 50 plastic bags removed from oceans and rivers
So which festivals are we starting with? With which artists’ tours?
