World renowned music festival Glastonbury is well known for hosting headline acts and leaving lasting memories - but environmental enthusiast Andy Hughes is more interested in the rubbish left behind by the biggest festival in the UK.

Andy, a lecturer from Truro and Penwith College, will be giving an insightful talk about his recent campaign on plastic pollution on Friday, February 17 at Portmeor Studio's in St Ives.

Illustrated by his photography series 'Glasto Opus 1', the lecturer aims to shift the spotlight away from the celebrity artists and onto the plastic pollution which the festival is trying to reduce.

Andy says that the evening will, “take viewers on a night time journey through the festival site after thousands of people have left the area through to showing the work of the litter pickers at dawn.”

Working with the Raw Foundation, WaterAid and Glastonbury organisers, media and photography lecturer Andy went to the festival with the aim of encouraging festival-goers to be mindful when using and consuming plastics.

Andy said: "They are just one of many who are working to reduce the amount of synthetic plastics in the environment by raising awareness about the true extent of plastic pollution and its impacts.

"Their aim was to encourage festival-goers to bring their own reusable water bottles or buy a 100 per cent stainless steel bottle and get a free refill at Raw Foundation or WaterAid water kiosks across the site instead of buying bottled water."
