Love Saves the Day in Bristol prohibits on-site single-use plastic.

Bristol’s largest music festival has launched a new sustainability campaign that prohibits the use of single-use plastic and glitter.

Love Saves The Day will have compost toilets, women’s urinals, and eco-travel options at its new location at Ashton Court on the 2nd and 3rd of June.

The event, which is expected to draw 50,000 people, intends to reduce its environmental impact by half by 2025.

Sustainability manager Pauline Bourdon stated that the site should evoke “empathy and identity” in visitors.

According to a report by Vision 2025, a network of 500 outdoor events and businesses, the UK festival industry generates approximately 25,800 tons of waste and consumes 7 million liters of fuel per year.

According to Ms Bourdon, the festival was a success.

When people “connect together and have a moment of collective joy,” she says, they can “share thoughts and see different ways of behaving with food and waste, and that can translate into society.”

This year’s festival will feature the UK’s first women’s urinal. Ms Bourdon stated that the announcement about the Peequal, a women’s urinal invented by two Bristol University graduates, was “really well received.”

She stressed the importance of not urinating in public “anywhere” on the property.

“People believe it is due to sanitation, but it harms the soil and the ecosystem,” she added.

Compost toilets will make up one-third of the event’s toilets. There will also be more vegetarian and vegan options, as well as a bike lock park.
