The first 'R' is reduce How can anyone claim to be environmentally friendly when you eat meat/dairy? Cough cough David Attenborough and Leonardo DiCaprio. There's no point in being sooo strict on what actually is 'environmentally Friendly' or not because there are just too many ifs and buts. Sure Ellie should've not released any physical copies at all but she needs some sort of income (or at least her label forced her too) and she knows her fans really want physical copies so she doesn't really have a choice. Plus the merch are all made through renewable energy. There isn't much negative effects to the production of these items. Also she technically is reducing waste by putting a use for recycled material which otherwise would've been trashed and made useless. Not to mention Ellie is supporting these industries which manufacture such materials. At least she's doing mostly everything she could which is far more than anyone else could. I mean look at Taylor with her massive pollution not only for her spamming of merch (when she couldve made them recycled) but her private jets etc. Or Adele's massive overproduction of cds + lps. Who else is releasing environmentally friendly merch like Ellie?

Does she want monetary income or… Her whole tirade of trying to be as environmentally green as possible is not possible with her line of work. She has no issue flying to other parts of Europe, the North Pole, and LA all the time. Why only when it comes to touring? 20 minutes ago, teenagecraze said: you have a link?

Honestly shocked that she sold out stadiums and arenas at that time. Her career could have really been huge in 2016 if they promoted (and she didn’t have anxiety hit).

The song was without a doubt the biggest/2nd biggest soundtrack song of the year + it was universally praised. Funny that see you again also wasn't nominated when it shouldve been. I like Sam but he did not deserve both wins. The song was horrendous Edited March 30, 2023 by Delirious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
