REVERB'S CLIMATE PROJECT PORTFOLIO

In acknowledgement of the climate impact of touring, ODESZA 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.

Methane Emissions Avoidance; Environmental Justice

Biodigesters in Mexico

In partnership with Native Energy, this project helps build and install simple biodigester units for subsistence farmers in Mexico. These units break down animal waste yielding gas that powers biogas cookstoves and water heaters as well as farm-generated fertilizer. This helps avoid methane emissions, improves air quality, and provides an alternative to expensive and harmful chemical fertilizers.

Environmental Justice

Tilth Alliance

Tilth Alliance works in community with Washington farmers, gardeners and eaters to build a sustainable, healthy and equitable food future.

Environmental Justice

Front and Centered

Front and Centered is a diverse and powerful coalition of groups across Washington State comprised of and serving communities of color whose missions and members come together to advance equity and environmental and climate justice.

Decarbonization

Decarbonizing Music

REVERB’s Music Decarbonization Project advances innovative climate solutions that directly eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry. Funding from this project helps develop emerging technologies and promotes the adoption of existing innovations that increase efficiency, expand clean energy options, and reduce greenhouse gas pollution with a focus on the unique climate challenges of music.

Sustainable Food Systems

Support + Feed

Support + Feed combats the climate crisis and food insecurity by working toward a global shift to an equitable, plant-based food system.

Clean Energy

Maharashtra Sky Wind

The Sky Wind India project provides clean energy to one of the world’s dirtiest grids. It also provides local employment and improves air quality by displacing energy generation from coal and other fossil fuel plants.
