India, Dec. 2 -- Large concerts are built to create spectacle, but they also create impact that is harder to see. The energy needed to power stages, lights, and audio systems draws heavily on fossil fuel sources. Crowds generate heaps of waste through plastic cups, food packaging, merchandise wrappers, and promotional material.
