Look out, Darkstar is back and she has some thing to say!

After seeing the amount of plastic bottles that went into the trash yesterday... I would like to see Recycling done at ANY future 30 Seconds to Mars show...even if the Echelon has to bring its own bags. If the venue is not willing to commit to providing the services, then we need to step up. If there is a problem with people “digging” into the trash...then perhaps someone could contact future venues to have collection point set into place prior.

Besides, any funds from the recycling could be placed towards the various Echelon charities and projects.

See above for why I left this place before.
@#$% heads like you that don't have anything better to do than to slag other people.
For your information, I did manage to pick up about 5 or 6 plastic bottles from the people around me and bring them back to my vehicle.

I don't know how feasible it is would be as a 30 STM's fan's project.... But plastic bottles irritate me to no end.

YES, It is a monumental task, but it is one that can be done!
Sustainability is not something that people take for granted anymore. Yeah, it sucks if you happen to be the poor bastard that is hauling a bag of bottles out of a canyon after a clean up. However, most businesses now are looking at ways to integrate “green” practices to their everyday operations.

I guess I would like to see a few others who, when the time comes, are interested giving it a shot.

The last show I went to here on Long Island @ the NCVMC they didn't serve water in the bottles. They poured the water in large cups as to recycle the bottles.
Problem was there were cups all over outside where many were too lazy to walk to a garbage recepticles.
Good thing at least the staff cleans up after the shows.

Fantastic idea Brandy. Let's put something into action ourselves. I will wrok on some ideas with you and maybe we can come up with something really inspiring. BTW... ILU!!!

I like your idea, I think its something Echelon should give some attention at. Try to keep the 30stm shows as clean as possible (without working ourself to death) beacuse we not only like them and thier music, we have also shown that we love the enviroment. What if we could make 30stm concerts to be cleanest conserts of all?

Here is it very ordinary to have volunteers at festilvals who picks up bottles, and then I mean a lot of bottles. So why cant we?

But yes, its not only at festivals and concerts we need to get this fucking wrong placed bottles attention. But its a start.

[GhettoKameleon]

Along with water bottles, I will also make sure to flick cigarette butts and spit my gum out at all concert venues. Why? Because I can.

And Ross has a point. Don't bitch and moan if you aren't willing to just do it your fucking self.

[agueda]

in some european concerts there were a team to pick up the trash and try to recicly maybe we can do that as usual thing in all shows?

[pisces]

It's really not surprising to me that people can't pick up after themselves, given that I work in a fast food restaurant and see grown adults leave their trash everywhere.

I agree though that this isn't really an "Echelon" thing as opposed to a "local" thing. Talk to your city council about making venues regulate waste consumption have more recycling receptacles available. Bouncers/security could ask remind people on the way in about it. Little things make the difference.

I'm not sure if any of this REALLY makes much sense, as I'm just kind of rambling and sleepy and throwing ideas off the top of my head.

[zigkiss]

outdoor festivals are the worse. Maybe the band could add recycling receptacles to their rider? I don't think it necessarily needs to be a local issue, if more bands performing at venues during their tour requested recycling bins be available then maybe venues would automatically have them on hand.
I don't see it as that much of a request, I'm surprised clubs and concert venues aren't being cracked down on for their recycling though. homes and businesses here all have to do it, why wouldn't bars and restaurants? My city even has weekly compost pick up along with recyclables and garbage for homes, I don't know about restaurants but that would be great if they did too.

yeah, kidding or not....that's rude.

I asked the same question at my job. I want to bring in a box or something so ppl can recycle. I'll have to haul it to my home every Friday for the following Monday but hopefully I start this within the next 5 months. the amount of plastic disposed in one day just from water or micro meals is crazy, imo..... and there are only, like, 10 of us, too.

my work place was amazing, we recycled everything just short of composting and it was a fairly large company.

I think teaming up bringing our own bags to shows is a cool idea!

I concur and practice - Act Local - Think Global

As for this being an Echelon thing... WHEN we get tour dates...Hell yeah it is!
It will be ON! Imagine that press release. “Fans who CARE!”


Now we just wait for tour dates...

I agree

I third.

Clearly, abandoned trash and lack of recycling is a question at almost every site, but one big answer isn't going to work for all of them immediately.

If the people who give a shit get together and have *some* plan before an event, we can at least put a dent in it.

Count me in for SoCal shows.

There have definately been some people picking up trash during the 08 euro shows. Plus I know the venue in Hamburg used hard plastic cups that were picked up and used again (I still have one sitting in my room that I forgot to bring back).

But maybe when we get dates again people can say in the roll call if they're willing to help out with bringing trash bags etc. to the show.

Ditto, except we do have bins to collect compostable items too
