Each night, fans took meaningful action for people and the planet at the REVERB Action Village. In total, over 6,500 fan actions were taken, including:

• 122 volunteers contributed 488 hours of their time
• 1,427 fans took REVERB’s fashion survey helping us understand the relationship between touring and sustainable versus fast fashion for concerts
• 1,049 fan actions in support of local nonprofits
• 2,515 single-use plastic bottles were avoided by fans through REVERB and Nalgene’s RockNRefill program

Local partners throughout the tour included: Planet Reimagined • The CLEO Institute • Tampa Bay Sierra Club • Propel ATL • Citizens Climate Lobby Charlotte • and more! 

The international charity Save the Children was selected by Reneé Rapp to be a beneficiary of the Bite Me Tour’s Eco-Fund, along with REVERB. For 100 years, in the U.S. and around the world, Save the Children has been giving children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

Together we advocated for sustainability at every stop:

• 3,670 Single-Use Bottles Eliminated Back of House: REVERB supplied refillable bottles and installed water refill stations backstage, replacing disposable plastics.
• Recycling available at nearly every venue, with most offering both front-of-house and back-of-house options. Many venues added cardboard and paper separation, and five offered composting.
• Anti-idling measures implemented at 8 stops, with remaining venues following “engine-off” practices to cut emissions from trucks and buses.
• Vegan and vegetarian options available at over half of the venues — with several serving meals using compostable or reusable dishware.
• No new hospitality or décor items purchased at 11 of 13 venues, emphasizing reuse and waste prevention.
