When possible, the band has also vowed to use electric vehicles for ground travel, fly on commercial flights and pay a surcharge to use fuel that is made from renewable waste materials.
The confetti at Coldplay concerts will now be 100 percent biodegradable, and fans are encouraged to bring reusable bottles to drink out of. In addition to all of these changes, fans who use low-carbon alternatives to get to a concert will be given a discount code.
