Reading Festival came to an end; however, its environmental footprint<\/strong> is far from gone.<\/p>\n

(Festival Reading sudah usai, akan tetapi, dampak lingkungannya jauh dari kata selesai)<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 100,000 people came to one of England\u00b4s biggest music festivals after the cancellation of last year\u00b4s event, and they\u00b4ve not only left the event, but left tons of plastic waste, including abandoned tents, used underwear, and condoms. Empty tents and litter were all over several fields in Reading, a day after the festival ended.<\/p>\n

(Sekitar 100.000 orang hadir di salah satu festival musik terbesar di Inggris setelah sempat batal tahun lalu, dan pengunjung tidak hanya meninggalkan acara, tetapi meninggalkan banyak sampah plastik, termasuk tenda, pakaian dalam bekas dan kondom. Tenda-tenda kosong dan kotoran memenuhi beberapa tempat di Reading, sehari setelah festival berakhir.)<\/span><\/p>\n

The discarded<\/strong> plastic tents could reportedly take up to 10,000 years to fully decompose in landfill, adding to the tons of other waste made by festival goers. The Association of Independent Festivals launched an initiative<\/strong>, calling for supermarkets and retailers to stop selling tents as single-use items. According to the association, around 250,000 tents are left at music festivals across the UK every year.<\/p>\n

(Tenda plastik bekas dilaporkan butuh waktu 10.000 tahun untuk terurai sempurna di tempat pembuangan akhir sampah, ditambah banyaknya sampah lain para pengunjung festival. Asosiasi festival independen memulai inisitiaf, menyerukan agar supermarket dan retail berhenti menjual tenda sebagai barang sekali pakai. Menurut asosiasi ini, sekitar 250.000 tenda ditinggalkan begitu saja di festival seluruh Inggris.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, tents are one of the worst things to recycle. In some cases, they go to charity. However, the ultimate message for festival goers is take their tent home. At the last event in 2019, more than 300 tents were saved and given to people in Reading.<\/p>\n

(Sayangnya, tenda adalah salah satu hal terburuk untuk daur ulang. Dalam beberapa kasus, tenda-tenda ini diserahkan ke kegiatan amal, namun pesan utama kepada pengunjung festival adalah untuk membawa pulang tenda-tenda mereka. Pada penyelenggaraan terakhir tahun 2019, lebih dari 300 tenda dikumpulkan dan diberikan kepada warga di Reading.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kata-kata sulit<\/span>: environmental footprint<\/strong><\/a> (dampak lingkungan<\/span>), discard<\/strong><\/a> (membuang<\/span>), initiative <\/strong><\/a>(inisiatif<\/span>).<\/p>\n
