Sydney’s Mardi Gras took an eco-friendly pledge this year, phasing out single-use plastics including bags and glitter.

Sunday’s parade still shone, with party-goers shimmering with biodegradable and compostable glitters. Floats glimmered with fairy lights, fluorescent paints, lanterns and other highly-reflective materials.

It is estimated 500 thousand spectators flocked to Sydney’s Oxford Street to cheer on over 12 thousand 500 marchers.
