Tour Sustainability

Waste Reduction

• Reusable water bottles and insulated mugs for artists and crew
• Donation of excess catering food to local food security organizations
• Reusable or compostable service ware in catering and on buses
• Water refill stations throughout backstage area, catering, and on tour buses

Addressing Carbon Emissions

In addition to the above efforts to reduce the tour’s environmental footprint, we measure and neutralize remaining greenhouse gas emissions

• Calculate tour carbon emissions from travel and transportation, hotel stays, venue energy usage, fan travel, and more
• Draw down emissions by funding diverse global projects that measurably reduce significantly more greenhouse gas pollution than the tour’s calculated footprint

Additional Steps
