GREENHOUSE GAS MEASUREMENT

After all the above efforts were made to reduce the environmental footprint of the tour, remaining carbon emissions from major sources were calculated including:

  • Band + Crew Travel
  • Equipment Transport and Shipping
  • Venue Energy Use
  • Hotel Stays

In acknowledgement of the climate impact of touring, Lake Street Dive has dedicated a portion of ticket sales to support REVERB’s Climate Project Portfolio. This tour’s portfolio is designed to support measurable greenhouse gas reductions, address climate justice, advance decarbonization efforts in music, and create lasting positive impacts with the goal of addressing the complex challenges of the climate crisis.

We want to thank everyone that helped make this tour so successful and create positive impacts for people and the planet, especially:
