I can’t say I am a huge Dave Matthews fan, but Alicia from Mental Health Notes is and I have her to thank for this green piece of info:
Her favorite band is partnering with PickupPal to help fans find and share rides to and from all of their concerts for this summer’s tour. How cool is that?
The carpool is just a piece of the greenness that the Dave Matthews Band hopes to share with you. According to their website, here is more of the green:
- Calculated and neutralized the carbon footprint of the tour
- Biodiesel fueling for touring fleet
- Waste reduction and recycling backstage
- Biodegradable and compostable catering products
- Eco-friendly merchandise
- Green sponsorship
Fan Education and Outreach
- Interactive Ride-share program with Pickup Pal
- Reverb Eco-Village set up at each show
- Local and National Non-profits
- Green Technologies
- Fan carbon offset program
- Eco-friendly consumer sampling
- Informational eco-concert program distributed to fans
- Greening Website
Check out the Bama Green Project website to find out how you can volunteer at the Dave Matthews shows and become even greener in your own lives.
Woohoo! My love for DMB grows deeper with each passing year, it seems, haha. Now, if I was fortunate enough to get to go see them this summer, I might try to take advantage of this. (Every summer since 2004, something has thwarted my plans, grr.)
Great article! I know that Jack Johnson is also doing something for the environment with his tour this summer. I think it was called a carbon offset ticket that you could purchase with your concert ticket.. either way, DMB rocks!
