Glastonbury 2022 bans sales of single-use plastic bottles

It’s June! The month we celebrate queer rights, when the air gets heated and the blood does too.

Scotland has become the first UK nation to enforce a ban on single-use plastics.

Fresh images of what appear to be Manchester United's away shirt for next season have been 'leaked' online.

Love Saves The Day festival has banned glitter and single-use plastic at its festival in a bid to reduce its carbon footprint.The event, which is being held at Ashton Court on June 2-3, plans to cut its environmental impact 50 per cent by 2025.Loves Saves the Day has partnered with Music Declares Emergency, a movement which is calling for urgent climate action through its No Music On a Dead Planet campaign.The festival’s sustainability manager, Pauline Bourdon told the BBC that when people “connect together and have a moment of collective joy”, they are also able to “share thoughts and see different ways of behaving with food and waste, that can translate into society”.No plastic water bottles will be available to buy on site, with attendees encouraged to bring their own water bottle to refill.Bourdon added: “We are also strongly advising our audience not to wear any glitter, even biodegradable glitter” because traces of micro plastic have been found in that. “It’s about reinforcing different behaviours we want to happen onsite and helping them to have a sense of empathy and identity with the ecosystems onsite.”Last year, Love Saves The Day took place on September 4 and 5, and saw performances from Slowthai, Little Simz, Ghetts and more to a crowd of 60,000 over the two day festival.

Glastonbury 2022’s Pyramid Stage line-up.The band will play the festival’s main stage on the festival’s Sunday morning (June 26) to deliver an anti-war message.They’ve called themselves “ambassadors of free Ukraine” and have punctuated concerts with cries of “Stop Putin!” and “No war!” (via BBC News).DakhaBrakha are currently donating proceeds from their shows to help the Ukrainian army.Meanwhile, Kalush Orchestra‘s Eurovision trophy has been auctioned off online to raise funds to buy drones for Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia.The Ukrainian rap group triumphed over the UK’s Sam Ryder at the Turin, Italy ceremony earlier this month, receiving a massive portion of the public vote.As BBC News reports, the winning trophy – a crystal microphone – has now been auctioned off on Facebook with the aim of buying drones for Ukraine’s armed forces with the proceeds.Coinciding with a performance from the band at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate – a building often symbolising peace and unity within Europe – for a charity event, the trophy was sold for $900,000 (£712,000).Kalush Orchestra were the bookies’ favourites for Eurovision glory with their rousing folk-rap song ‘Stefania’ before they went on to take the top spot by scoring a massive 631 points – largely from the public vote – to overhaul the UK who were winning after the jury votes at the grand final in Turin.It’s tradition for the winning nation of Eurovision to host the competition the following year.Due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine at the hands of Russia, much doubt has been cast over whether the country will be in a position to be able to do so.
