shesaid.so LA radio team will be joined by Maddy Read Clarke founder of Music Declares Emergency and Vivie-ann Bakos of BLOND:ISH, founder of Bye Bye Plastic. This month it’s all about putting ‘change’ in climate change, and how the music industry can be the call to action.

They will be discussing their involvement with making the music industry a more sustainable environmentally safe place for all, the cultural power that music plays in its call to action for our changing climate how you can get involved and much more.

BLOND:ISH will also provide us with a jam packed DJ set in the second hour.

About Bye Bye Plastic:

Is a zero-plastic initiative, started by DJ Vivie-ann Bakos of BLOND:ISH. The aim of the scheme is for venus to stop using single-use plastics like straws, cups and bottles. It includes encouraging artists to ask for “eco-riders”at shows and offering promoters a hotline service to get advice on the alternatives to using plastics. Combining brilliant entrepreneurship with environmental activism, Vivie-Ann has continually challenged herself and the music community. Last year BLOND:ISH helmed a ‘sustainable raving’ movement which led to the hugely successful beach clean in Ibiza with locals and environmentalists. Vivie-Ann also appeared on IMS and ADE Green panels to discuss these issues.
