I’ve mentioned before how Coldplay was the first band to set a goal of cutting their tour’s carbon footprint by 50%. According to their latest update, they’ve cut their emissions by 59% in the last two years, compared to their previous tour, through reducing air travel and even using a power-generating dancefloor: similar to that of a concert venue I reported on a few months ago in Glasgow, Scotland, that’s heated and cooled using the stored body heat of concertgoers.

It’s time for an update, though, because there are a lot more efforts afoot to curb the emissions from the music industry and call for climate action at a broader level. This week, the whole newsletter focuses on the music industry - the good news, the not-so-good news, and my top inspiration.
