Glastonbury Festival organisers are hoping to get 100,000 people to sign up to the I Count climate change campaign. Festival-goers attending the event will be given a special wristband with the "I Count" message, “We can stop climate chaos”. As people sign up, the rising total will be registered at the main Pyramid music stage.

“We’ve put a lot of effort into focusing Glastonbury on the environment and climate change this year,” says festival organiser Michael Eavis. “We hope to see at least 100,000 new supporters sign up to the I Count campaign – and I’ll be the first to put my name down.” The “I Count” campaign encourages people to take 16 steps in their everyday lives to reduce their carbon footprint – and to urge the world’s leaders to take climate change seriously. Let's hope all the bands playing Glasto this year will be ditching those huge tour buses in favour of tandems, eh?
