Sel nädalavahetusel toimub Tallinnas Kalevi keskstaadionil " ". Peo tarbeks on ühised proovid juba kestnud terve nädala. Esinejatele saadetud infomaterjal jättis mulje, et . Esinejad väitsid, et neid hoiatati, kui neil oli plastümbrises müslibatoon või tetrapakkides jogurt.

Võimlemispeo projektijuht Lembe Laas ütles, et tegu on arusaamatusega. Ta täpsustas, et need suunised on . "Soovitasime kaasavõetava toidu võtta ning kasutada metallist lusikaid ja joogipudelit," ütles Laas.

Staadionil rippuvatel plakatitel oli kirjas, et võivad takistada staadionile sisenemist. Laas ütles, et plakat on nüüd parandatud. "Me võtsime plakati maha ja lisasime juurde, et tegemist on soovitustega," ütles Laas.

Turvafirma G4S esindaja Kristiina Eelmaa kinnitas, et . Ta ütles, et turvatöötajad juhivad esinejate tähelepanu keskkonnasõbralikele suunistele. "Me ei keela kellelgi staadionile sisenemist, kuid soovitame kasutada korduvkasutatavaid pakendeid," ütles Eelmaa.

Varssemalt on olnud probleeme toidu pakenditega. Laas meenutas, et varasemal peol kasutati hulganisti kilekotte, mis tekitasid . Samuti tellisid esinejad endale toitu kullerite kaudu, kuid graafik oli tihe ja toidu jäi poolikuks. Prügikastid täitusid penoplastkarpidega.

This weekend, the VII Estonian gymnastics gala "The Charm of Rural Life" will take place at the Kalevi Central Stadium in Tallinn. Joint rehearsals for the gala have already been going on for a whole week. The information material sent to the performers gave the impression that plastic bottles and plastic bags were prohibited at the stadium. Performers claimed they were warned when they had a muesli bar in a plastic wrapper or yogurt in tetra packs.

The project manager of the gymnastics gala, Lembe Laas, said it was a misunderstanding. She clarified that these guidelines are recommendations, not strictly enforced rules. "We recommended bringing food in reusable plastic containers and using metal spoons and a water bottle," said Laas.

Posters hanging at the stadium stated that disposable food containers might hinder entry to the stadium. Laas said the poster has now been corrected. "We took the poster down and added that these are recommendations," said Laas.

Kristiina Eelmaa, a representative of the security firm G4S, confirmed that security personnel would not confiscate anyone's food. She said security staff would direct performers' attention to the eco-friendly guidelines. "We are not banning anyone from entering the stadium, but we recommend using reusable packaging," said Eelmaa.

There have been issues with food packaging before. Laas recalled that at a previous gala, a large number of plastic bags were used, which caused discontent on social media. Performers also ordered food via delivery services, but the schedule was tight, and the food was left unfinished. Trash bins were filled with polystyrene containers.

Laas said the organizer must find a balance between rules and reality. "How should we behave when, on one hand, there are established rules, and on the other, entry is allowed with various types of packaging?" asked Laas.

Laas advised directing people to use reusable packaging. "We are educating performers in this direction so they use reusable containers. It's like in a store, where you choose a plastic bag instead of a reusable one," said Laas.
