Almost everything that humans do has an impact on the environment and the climate: the production of energy from fossil fuels, agriculture and land use, the construction of buildings, transport and mobility or the consumption of raw materials in a wide variety of industries that emit emissions and generate greenhouse gases through their processes. People leave carbon- footprint with almost everything they do, which impacts climate change and global warming.
Of course, this also applies to all areas of life where people come together – and therefore also to culture. Opera houses, theatres, concert halls, cinemas and pop concerts generate emissions that impact the climate. And, of course, so do classical concerts. The audience has to come to the concert hall for the concerts, as do the musicians for the rehearsals – sometimes over short distances, sometimes by travelling long distances. The concert hall, the foyers, and the entire building must be heated, lit, cleaned, and maintained, and energy and water must be consumed. Last but not least, there is catering during the breaks, with products, drinks, and waste produced for this purpose.
