Just put your own plastic bottle/s into your rucksack like an adult, and don't litter the place. How hard is that? ffs. The crowd on their way home and somebody else has to clean their mess. Just disgraceful.
@@yourmotherslefttesticle3892 yes many and everytime the aftermath is disgusting. Party if you want, but stop making excuses for those who take no responsibility
@@ashhartling9713 it still pains to see the Greenpeace logo in that shot there though. You think they would have pulled their sponsorship by now, especially since this isn't the first time this has happened at Glastonbury. Far from it.
Yet those same Glastonbury goers are the ones yelling, protesting, marching & always blaming SOMEONE ELSE for the dirty environment....bloody ridiculous!
If you can take it with you, you can take it back. The sheer lack of respect for the environment astounds me - anyone leaving their crap for others to take care of should be ashamed of themselves.
djjlc What, you think everybody who attended the festival is rich. What they are is a bunch of lazy irresponsible people for leaving the site in such a mess.
lmao! Thanks for an enlightened comment! Yeah, the Sun, the "newspaper" that gave a whole generation half naked 18 year olds on the breakfast table every morning. "barely legal, and what a bit of crumpet! Corrr!"
The state of these negative comments Pleanty of people were picking up the litter dropped at the end- left by those that were inconsiderate. Overall the site was remarkably clean at the end considering- and very few tents left Cheers to the Sun newspaper for the non story
underneonloneliness2 i was at the festival. It was fantastic i had a great time Majority of comments below this story are negative- towards the festival and those that went As i stated in my comment- the festival in fact was left very clean and in a good state afterwards compared to any other large scale festival. Was it spotless? Is it perfect? God no not by any stretch. But saddening to see comments straight away attacking those that attended
@@mcconartist3281 the smaller festivals are better I think. You can't even see the lineup before you buy tickets. People just see the name Glastonbury and that's enough for them to buy tickets.
McConartist ...I was there too! And like you said most people did, the majority of those waste cans were over flowing, (especially in the more populated spots) and it was pretty damn windy most days, the rubbish just got blown all over the place. Think the planners of Glastonbury need to re think the litter situation through properly!
Come on give them a break. They couldn't get their housemaids into their backpack. Although they could have taken their rubbish home to mummy to sort. Hypocrisy or what?
To fight against the climate change and protect the environment, everybody has the responsibility to be a part of it and actively engaging lifestyle changes.
Is the title of this video a joke? Thats a remarkable effort! I saw mostly cans and paper cups as litter?! litter yes, of course but really not much plastic!
Well it's not exactly going to be hundreds of pieces of plastic is it, there was over 200,000 people there ffs, you think they can provide enough bins for that many people?
What a joke. Some of the very same people who lecture the rest of us about the environment leave a sea of rubbish for others to clean up. Cancel future events until rubbish collection systems are worked out between organisers and festival goers. In the meantime shame those responsible for their irresponsible behaviour. Really, with all the environmental problems we have in the world this is disgraceful.
I suppose that you, at home put your rubbish in a bin? Guess what happens next: someone picks it up for you in a truck, takes it away, sorts through it to separate the things you missed, ships half of it off to another country, recycles some, composts some..... Now tell me what's different between your actions and a festival goers actions? Oh right, some of it is left on the floor? It gets picked up. Teams are there for that. It's one of the ways of going to the festival for free. "cancel future events until rubbish collection systems..." : Are you joking or what? Can't you see that rubbish collection systems are in place? That's why the field starts off green before the festival. It's been there since 1970. If there was no rubbish collection it wouldn't look like that now, would it? Think a bit. "some of the same people who lecture us": I think the environmentally aware people are probably a minority at the festival. There's a lot of young people.... young peope need educating, that's part of being young. So yeah, if you're going to think like that, stay at home, don't go out and mix with people, forget about your rubbish as soon as it's out of your front door (someone will deal with it, won't they?) and carry on pouring bleach down the drain as you consider yourself so morally superior.
as part of the recycling crew this year at Glasto i saw that the site is so much cleaner than previous years and that this year has seen an Enormous drop in the quantity of plastic used. most of the waste that you see here is recyclable and compostable!
Glasto went plastic free this year. All the food stalls and bars were banned from using plastic; the only plastic that came in was what campers brought with them.
To all the comments saying the plastic was left by people who preach about climate change and the plastic problem that's not necessarily the case, more than 200,000 people attend and some care about the environment more than others. A whole wave of plastic was stopped from being sold at the festival, millions of bottles, so that accounts for something. This video shows litter pickers clearing and recycling waste left behind, and although it's disgraceful it has been a lot worse and is in the end being sorted and recycled accordingly. Let's not suddenly point a finger at the sort of people who are trying to make a difference to the issue of waste, I'm sure they would of been setting the example at the festival for all those inconsiderate enough to not care, they are not hypocrites, people speaking out about these issues are trying to envoke change.
Aaaand here's the sun trying to make a story out of nothing - who'd have thought! Look at all those horrid volunteers putting waste into recycling bags! "I'd never go to a festival, I'd rather sit at home whinging about young people and all their fun."
I love the way everybody is going on about millennials the age group for Glastonbury is very wide. It is time festivals owners start to take responsibility and should be penalised for generating waste. If you dont sell it or dont distribute it then it wont end up as waste.
mickinoz2005 Agreed! All festivals should start doing the same as Glastonbury did this year. They didn’t sell plastic bottles (even coffee lid) at the festival, festival goers still can bring their reusable plastic bottles.
So many in the comments talking about the "youth of today", "the middle class", "eco warriors", "lefties" etc, just cos there's a lot of politics, environmental activism at glastonbury doesn't mean literally everyone is obsessed with the environment or "loves corbyn" or whatever. Most people aren't there for the politics, or they're apolitical or only have a slight interest in politics. And there's a wide range of ages, from families to elderly people who've been going for years, and yeah a lot of the millennial generation as well. And you don't have to be rich or even middle class to go, plenty of people there work the whole year at their low paying job to afford a ticket, the week or so they take off work to go is probably the only significant amount of time they take off work all year
What can you expect from The Sun? Haters are gonna hate hate hate..... The fact that the festival banned selling single use plastic bottle (even coffee cup lid!) is already a big step for festivals. Yes it’s hard to avoid somebody(lazy ones) from littering , but if you were at Glastonbury festival this year, you would see recycled bins everywhere and they were literally full! And during the break in between gigs on TV screens Glastonbury were promoting as much as they can about recycling. Of course there are always more actions that can be done, but The Sun’s this kind of attitude is definitely not helping.....awful press.
They tell us nearly every day about waste and the environment so much for the youth of today I bet this won't be talked about much on tv just ignored I expect !
As you say - the youff of today "REALLY DO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT " !!! As long as it is someone else's responsibility !!! They are all such a waste of time. They don't care about anything; they don't pay for anything; they get nasty to the elderly because they like blaming everyone else for everything they don't like. GROW UP is all I can say and SOON.
Grow up..... yeah; that's what being young is all about, isn't it? Maybe if their parents' and grand parents' generations didn't create such a mess in the first place, and vote for the free market economy, we wouldn't be in this mess today? Maybe if they'd given them an education... No, you're right; blame it all on the young! How could it be anything other than their fault?
Ryan LeBear Kearney each waste can had a specific colour bag to what it was recycling. Black for non recyclable, red for food waste and green for cans and cups
Why aren't we trying to find solution/s? This has been going on for decades, though the difference is the increase in population and therefore, the level of visible impact. Resources are needed for the 'aftermath', but could they primarily not have a team of people with rubbish bags or provide rubbish bags to all the music goers and give them ownership to take responsibility? This is a growing problem with our now snowflake and tech society - laziness and selfishness. Ignorance too might I add and generally uncaring. It makes my blood boil.
Some of the comments are hilarious. You just have to laugh sometimes. As if a few idiots littering somehow invalidates campaigning on Environmental issues. Comedy gold.
What is comedy gold, is that the biggest music festival in the world pushed the environmental agenda, wheeled out David Attenborough to lecture everyone there, and the rest of the world about the environment. But there was not enough bins provided and the festival goers leave it like a tip, that's hilarious!
True, but it's like saying you drank a litre of coca cola in one day this year instead of four litres in the same day last year. It's still way too much!
JimBobBigglesby Yeah i get that. But it shows that the message is getting through to SOME people finally. However this video doesn’t take this into account. I agree though, there’s still a lot to be done
Such a click bate video. These images are just by the main stages; everywhere else was pretty much litter free. I saw hardly any plastic bottles on the floor. Great work Glasto!
At least this year they pushed the message about reducing plastic, its hard to get everyone to feel the importance of an issue especially when your dealing with drunk festival attendee's. Progress is seemingly being made, more needs to be done but at least you can remain hopeful.
