Ask Brighton Fringe to abandon single-use plastics
Please commit to scrapping single-use plastics from all Fringe venues.
Why is this important?
As a resident of Brighton for over a decade, and a lover of the Fringe festival, it always strikes me as hugely problematic that incredible events such as the Fringe, which are so integral to pushing the boundaries in one area (in this case the performing arts), are not also striving to be at the forefront when it comes to environmentalism.
Brighton Fringe is a wonderful event that takes place in the city each May (this year, 2019, it runs from 3rd May - 2nd June). It sees lots of corners of Brighton brought even more vividly to life than usual and provides a platform for a plethora of UK and international creatives who are at the forefront of their art forms.
Many eateries in Brighton demonstrate that single use plastics can be easily avoided. This map by Plastic Free Pledge provides information of Brighton establishments making efforts to eradicate single use plastics from their services: https://www.plasticfreepledge.com/south-east
I don't wish in any way to damage the reputation of the magnificent Brighton Fringe through this petition, but let's ask the organisers to ensure that it can operate in the most sustainable and thoughtful way possible.
