Cannes Film Festival: Stars shining brightly, not forgetting the environmental protection commitment
The Cannes Film Festival, one of the largest film events in the world, has undergone an eco-transformation since 2021, with the organizers taking a series of environmental measures to tackle the environmental challenges. The festival has stopped using single-use plastic bottles, increased the use of electric cars, and promoted online ticket sales. However, the event generates three times more garbage during the festival period and leads to heavy traffic that causes excessive exhaust emissions. The festival's organizers have pledged to continue their commitment to the environment at the 75th Cannes Film Festival by implementing specific measures to reduce pollution. These measures include using 60% electric or hybrid cars in the official car fleet, reducing printing and promoting digital material, and recycling the red carpet. Moreover, the organizers have eliminated plastic bottles and cups and made the red carpet using recyclable materials. Finally, the festival has partnered with green organizations to address environmental issues, reducing the amount of waste generated during the event.
