Each night, fans took meaningful action for people and the planet at the REVERB Eco-Village. In total, over 14,500 fan actions were taken, including:

• 193 volunteers contributing 772 hours of their time
• 1,876 fans supporting NRDC’s campaign to stop the Mexico Pacific LNG project, which threatens the Gulf of California–a UNESCO World Heritage marine sanctuary rich with whales, sea turtles, and other wildlife–from becoming a fossil fuel export zone
• 1,113 fan actions in support of local nonprofits
• 8,173 single-use plastic bottles were avoided by fans

Other local partners throughout the tour included: Community Farmers Markets · Matanzas Riverkeeper · Feeding Charlotte · Baltimore Tree Trust · Last Mile Food Rescue · Green Omaha Coalition · Reuse Minnesota · We Don’t Waste · San Diego Coastkeeper · Friends of Trees · Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) · Trust for Public Land · Food Bank of Central New York · Swim Drink Fish · Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper · Louisville Sustainability Council ·  Black Swamp Conservancy.

Together we advocated for sustainability at every stop:

• 9,120 Single-Use Bottles Eliminated Back of House: REVERB supplied refillable bottles and installed water refill stations backstage, replacing disposable plastics
• Recycling at Almost Every Venue: Most offered front- and back-of-house recycling, with several adding composting or cardboard separation
• Backstage Idling Policies: About one-third of stops had formal no-idling policies; elsewhere, crews followed “engine off” practices to cut emissions

Venue Standout: Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend, OR 

This venue had our jaws on the floor with their sustainability efforts! The team dries and reuses can liners and requires all vendors to sign sustainability agreements! They’ve installed kegerators with water taps where lines can’t reach, separate Zyn cans for unique diversion, and compost wine corks when possible. After a Dave Matthews Band show requested more sustainable food packaging, the venue made those changes permanent–setting a powerful example for others to follow.
