Coldplay, one of the greatest British bands in the music industry, has been on a record-breaking spree ever since they started the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” in 2022.
The Tour will clock 2 years in a few days, and already, the British band has recorded a new milestone in their quest to make their 8th career tour the safest and most humane tour to be organized in the world.
One would wonder how Coldplay managed to keep entertainment top-notch while playing by their rule book.
Since the tour started, there haven’t been any records of disappointment from Coldplay. This is even with the fact that they have limited most of their transportation to the road, and only use the skies when there’s no other option.
When they do use a plane for transportation, they do so in a plane that uses Sustainable Aviation Fuel that is known to reduce carbon emission by 80% which is a great deal in today’s world where celebrities don’t pay attention to the Earth’s health.
In this article, we will be looking at the latest records on the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” sustainability. This will be a short ride through Coldplay’s quest to maintain a minimal CO2 emission amidst their “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” compared to their previous tours.
Before we get into it, here’s an alternative tickets marketplace where you can get Coldplay Tickets, away from the stress coupled with getting tickets to their concerts.
47% Reduced CO2 Emission
Compared to their previous tour, Coldplay has reached a new milestone in their current, “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” by being able to reduce their CO2 emission by 47%.
This includes their travels to and fro their concert venues, the energy used to power their concerts, and also thanks to their fans who choose to use public transport instead of their cars, the traffic generated amidst the concert.
The band recorded a new milestone in this aspect and they have been recognized as one of the “Most Influential Climate Action Leaders on the Planet.”
Truly this recognition would not have been possible without the cooperation of their fans, but it takes their dedication to make this happen.
5 Million + Trees Planted
For the first time, Coldplay decided to be part of a movement to make the earth greener, by planting a tree for each of their tickets sold.
According to what we’ve gathered, and as seen on their official website, the band has been able to initiate the planting of 5 million trees worldwide, thanks to their partnership with One Tree Planted.
The project was spread to the shores of Brazil, where the Ecosystem in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil was regenerated and also the re-vegetation of Australia’s Marna Banggara, among others.
Argentina also got its share of the 5 million trees. 332,000 trees were planted in the country’s forest, alongside forests in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia.
Safer Water Project
Coldplay also successfully deployed “1 solar-powered River Interceptor” in Malaysia’s Klang River. This project will enable the quick cleaning of the sea, which we all know is vital to the well-being of sea animals, and also sea travellers.
Counting from when the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” started, to date, Coldplay has reportedly cleared the seas of 13 tonnes of plastic, and 158 tonnes of waste.
This might not mean anything to just anybody out there, but the world will never forget the effort that Coldplay put into ensuring that the sea returns to being a safe home for its inhabitants.
Energy Generating Initiatives
Through the installations of kinetic dance floors and energy-generating stationary bikes, Coldplay has been able to power some of their shows ever since the “Music of the Spheres” world tour started in 2022.
Aside from this being one of the ways Coldplay has used to make their Green Earth campaign a success, it has also become one of the ways that they connect deeply with their fans since they are giving them a sense of responsibility and inclusion in their campaign.
Also, this initiative has been the major supplier of the energy that is discharged in the laptop, tool and phone charging stations that the “Music of the Spheres” world tour crew makes use of amidst the tour.
Water Refill Stations
In 2023, we recorded cases of fans falling amidst concerts on different tours around the world, due to dehydration, even though Coldplay changed the game entirely in 2022 when they commenced the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” with water refill stations for their fans.
This means that many artists are still struggling to adapt, even though the initiative has worked wonderfully in Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres World Tour.”
The water refill stations have been a vital part of Coldplay’s campaign to keep the earth safe in the sense that fans do not rely on plastic water bottles. All a fan needs to stay hydrated is to bring along a refillable water container since there are water refill stations in the concert ground.
As of the time of writing this article, Coldplay has successfully initiated the use of water refill stations in over 95% of their concerts.
Tour Waste Recycled
Coldplay has also been able to control the amount of waste their concert attendees leave after every show. As of the time of writing this article, the British band has reportedly removed 66% of the waste left by their fans after their shows.
These wastes have been diverted from landfills and will be properly disposed of. The cool thing is the fact that any fan who attends Coldplay’s concerts with an item that cannot be disposed of when needed will not be allowed access to the concert.
The rule applies to all concert attendees, and there are memos containing the rules being distributed online for all to be aware of before coming to the concert.
Food And Toiletries Donated
Amidst the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” Coldplay successfully donated food and toiletries to homeless people through the tour’s catering services.
Before the commencement of the “Music of the Spheres World Tour,” Coldplay said they weren’t going to organize a live performance in 2019 until they had a way of making their concerts more sustainable.
Nobody knew they also had the intention of making their concert more about humanity, than just entertainment. And as if heaven is in support of their craft, their music also speaks about humanity and all it believes in, making everything a divine connection.
Financial Assistance for Environmental Organizations
Despite all their engagements since the “Music of the Spheres World Tour” started, Coldplay has not shied away from their self-taken responsibility which involves sending donations to charity and environmental organizations.
Some of these organizations are popularly known for their fight to keep the earth safe for all inhabitants.
ClientEarth – is known for protecting life on Earth using a unique approach, Climeworks – is known for removing emitted CO2 from the air, and also Sea Shepherd – is known for fighting against the destruction of marine wildlife through the dumping of industrial waste, ocean mining and marine pollution.
The British band is also in collaboration with the Food Forest Project to ensure that people eat organic food that costs the earth nothing, other than what it has to offer, to grow.
