Description
As a touring artist, one of the biggest philosophical struggles I continue to face is the toll my work takes on our environment. We fly, ride on buses, in vans, and in cars, and you have to do the same to see us. Venues must provide food and other resources for us and our fans, and staff must get to the venues to make it all run – all of which take an environmental toll.
On this tour, we will do our best to minimize the footprint we leave behind and pay our carbon offsets, and we're asking fans and venues to join us in making a positive impact.
Each ticket to every show on this tour will have $1 added to its price to be donated to effective sustainability programs supporting our environment and in turn, our local communities. In addition, we're implementing the following efforts:
● Any tips you leave at the merch table will be added to our donation.
● We've asked venues to forgo single-use plastic at our show, and do the same on our tour bus and in venues, as much as possible.
● We encourage you to rideshare and take available public transportation to our shows. At the end of the tour, we will share how much has been contributed and exactly the environmental projects they went toward. We know that, globally, a lot of work has to be done on the industrial scale, and in political realms, and that this may seem like a drop in the bucket. But enough drops, and the bucket overflows…
