«Breaking News» Glastonbury Festival bans the sale of single-use plastic bottles at this year's event

Glastonbury Festival has banned the sale of single-use plastic bottles for the first time in a 'it's now or never' campaign.

Single-use plastic bottles will be barred from Worthy Farm, Somerset, to be replaced by taps for festival-goers to fill up their own drinking bottles.

The festival normally sells more than a million plastic bottles and organisers say the change will 'make a real difference'.

Both staff and revellers will have to provide their own reusable bottles in order to make use of taps with water 'of the same quality as your taps at home'. 

An announcement on the music festival's website said:  'With more than one million plastic bottles sold at Glastonbury in 2017, we feel that stopping their sale is the only way forward.'

Free drinking water will be available from all bars across the site and the number of kiosks run by charity WaterAid will be tripled.

Festival organiser Emily Eavis said: 'It's paramount for our planet that we all reduce our plastic consumption and I'm thrilled that, together, we'll be able to prevent over a million single-use plastic bottles from being used at this year's festival.

'I really hope that everyone – from ticket-holder to headliner – will leave Worthy Farm this year knowing that even small, everyday changes can make a real difference.

'It's now or never.'

Canned soft drinks and canned Life Water will still be available to buy and festival attendees will still be able to bring plastic bottles on to the site.

The festival, which takes place in Somerset, runs from June 26 to 30 this summer.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
