And. There she is in her element and here she is in the studio with new video on backroads who hails from Montreal Canada one of the worlds biggest techno and house acts welcome to the. Enjoying our summer weather here in berlin amazing yeah as summer balmy very much like even yeah now when i think of events like the love parade and in berlin for instance which was notorious for leaving a huge huge mess in the center of the city when all the rivers went home it was not as seen with a super reputation for environmental awareness you are trying to change that with your initiative by by plastics what inspired you to act i mean i think the 1st time when it really hit home that this dichotomy is when i was in brazil. Playing this beautiful sunrise that war room and you know the biggest festivals there its the one that is the best club in south america in my opinion and when you see the sunrise and then the 3000 people dissipate and all youre left with is the sunrise and like a mountain of plastic and these kind of robots cleaning it up that kind of was that moment like when you know i can do something to change that we need to act now ok so how are you going about it obviously mission to eliminate Single Use Plastics from the from the Music Industry and what were you doing well you know i was thinking plastics because its a big job 1st so the way were doing that in the music i want to get rid of single plastics in the Music Industry how we doing that its too folded like were a direct led by a plastic is one phone call away like in the Music Industry where one phone call away from each other so were using that to our advantage so were doing Global Movement by plastic. By by plastic project as many by plastic projects but this is for the Music Industry so basically we have a campaign where we talk to all the d. J. s and we get them to upgrade their riders to be hospitality riders to be single use plastic free. And then that we can also in by the venues afterwards to also become single use bostic free and they can just call to buy a plastic hotline and weve done all the research and we hold their hands while they make the switch were seeing here pictures from 2 lumen mexico which is one of the places where you make your home between there and Barcelona Beach cleanups are also a part of what you do when you play on a lot of beaches obviously but this is really very much about changing the mindset at techno events for sure i mean ive parties for instance rivers and we have different priorities so we started the beach cleans as a place to come together in a different setting to inspire the conversations in the collaborations a lot of people come to the beach clean. To start meeting other people like minded people so that they can start making change in their own communities and from the promoters and the festivals themselves are you getting positive responses for this is everybody saying yes we want to take this on board yes a lot of people are saying yes we want to get involved so the next hurdle we have to get over is just the fact that no one has time so thats why we did all this research should busy everyones busy life is just busy now so its finding that time and figuring out ways to take small actionable steps together because if its a small step we can all make it together instead of just a few people brought you into contact you said earlier with a lot of new sectors obviously and a lot of people outside the Music Industry you said to me earlier that you dont feel like an activist and yet its something youre very passionate about or youre going to change that. Image in your head well i i mean i dont know im just i am moves forever optimist and what im thinking is that the earth is just not in balance and im just doing my part to bring that earth back into balance and its not for me its not a fight its not. Advocating or something its just feels natural to go with the flow and to do your part with small actionable steps if you can back us all the best with all of your summer gigs youre off to toronto and zurich and i dont know were on sunday obviously a bit of Carbon Footprint thinking to be done so well done on that were working on Carbon Emissions for all the d.
