The musicians of the English band Coldplay came to Santo Domingo this Tuesday for their concert in the Olympic Stadium and this Monday they were the first to set off for reforestation in Nigua.
“One day after the @Coldplay concert at the Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo, the members of the band came to visit the Reforestation Center in the Ecological Park of Nigua (Playa los Cuadritos),” businessman Saymon Díaz published on his Instagram.
The local producer of the Coldplay show released his message along with several photos of Chris Martin, Jon Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion planting trees.
Coldplay is committed to the environment. His is real, it’s not words. They not only take it up as a reflective discourse, as is usual in other propaganda concerts, but they take action. Nigua is a good example.
His demands no longer correspond to the former meaning of celebrity, which included dozens of bottles of alcohol or branded water, or the non-existent towels or fruit from the other side of the world. They are a real commitment to planet earth and its inhabitants.
To do this, they hire a company in charge of recycling the waste, guaranteeing its promise of a friendly concert with the planet.
Its measures also include that firecrackers, confetti, bracelets and other items used during the show are made from biodegradable products.
They also don’t use plastic paraphernalia in the dressing rooms or on stage.
Since 2019 they have implemented a program that has helped them identify processes to avoid, reduce and mitigate their own carbon emissions at concerts, achieving 50% fewer emissions compared to their previous tour ‘A Head Full of Dreams Tour”.
Even one percent of the proceeds from ticket sales go to various environmental programs in different parts of the world. This part is non-negotiable.
Coldplay kicked off the Music of the Spheres World Tour in Costa Rica on Friday and will be performing in the Dominican Republic for the first time.
