After the Taylor Swift concert: Olympiaberg fights with garbage mountains

Munich was the scene for a spectacular concert by Taylor Swift, which captivated tens of thousands of fans. Not only the over 70,000 ticket holders gathered on the Olympicberg, but also an estimated 40,000 other fans who celebrated the music outside. The enthusiasm was great, but the event left a worrying picture: a garbage mountain that shows how important a awareness of cleanliness and sustainability is in our society.

The dark side of the celebration

After the concert, cleaning staff found a frightening amount of waste. "This is catastrophic," said Peter R., one of the clean -up workers. The Olympicberg was littered with bottles, boxes and leftovers, while in the park around the Olympic Stadium there were similar conditions. The city and Olympiapark GmbH faced the challenge of eliminating a huge mess.

unexpected finds in the garbage

The cleanup work progressed quickly, but the finds were sometimes unexpected. Müllmann ünal Ibrahim reported cell phones and other valuables that the workers discovered in the waste after the concert. "It is really a shame that people are like that. They should simply dispose of their dirt themselves," he said and recalled the responsibility of each individual at such major events.

an appeal to the fans

The spectators themselves contributed to the celebration of the event with their enthusiasm, but the back of nature fell by the wayside. Passers like Uwe Rieder scolded the ruthlessness of some visitors: "Whoever brings what should take it home." The garbage, especially the broken glass, could also lead to injuries and do damage.

a necessary change in the event culture

The large garbage mountain is part of a major discussion about sustainability at concerts and events. Swiftie Christina Greitzke, who was also present, stated: "Unfortunately, sustainability is still not written so much at concerts." She emphasized that this had to change to protect the environment and not to cloud the concert experience through lavish legacies.

conclusion: time for change

While Taylor Swift gave joy with her music, the handling of the environment should not be forgotten. A awareness of cleanliness and responsibility should be more evident in society, especially at large events. This is the only way we can enjoy experiences such as the concerts of the pop icon without strain on nature and our habitat.
