Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A new video series aims to show Glastonbury Festival-goers the actions they can take to reduce the environmental impact of the annual festival.
The annual Glastonbury Festival (June 24-26) is one of the world's best known and biggest music events; this year headline acts include U2, Coldplay, Morrissey and Beyonce.
Videos showing how to be green at the festival were produced by students from Southampton Solent University, in collaboration with the festival, and uploaded to YouTube over June 14-15. Each video deals with a different environmental topic including recycling, transport and water management.
The videos are the latest in a series of steps taken by Glastonbury this year to promote environmentally friendly actions such as recycling and rewarding those who arrive by public transport; more information about Glastonbury's green initiatives can be found via the festival's official website.
Glastonbury is not the only music festival taking environmentally positive action this summer: the Isle of Wight Festival (June 10-12) promoted a car-sharing scheme to reduce emissions from traveling to the event and Bonnaroo (June 9-12) sold food in recyclable containers.
The videos created by Southampton Solent University are available to watch via the YouTube channel Glastonbury Goers or at the links below.
