Let's Fight Climate Change Together

With every signature, we're a step closer to reducing single use waste and breaking free from fossil fuels.

The Dirty Truth about Concerts

Concert goers in the US produce 116,843,033 pounds of waste each year and emit 400,000 tons of carbon emissions.*  That's a lot of needless waste and contribution to climate change . It doesn't have to be this like this. We can change to find a better way.

Change Starts Here

We are music makers that don't want to contribute to climate change and plastic pollution. Venues and promoters, work with us to eliminate plastic waste, food waste, and carbon emissions. Change starts here. 

 Our Pledge: 

Beginning in 2023, we pledge to ask venues to implement at least 3 of these 6 eco-friendly solutions

REUSABLE CUPS
and/or PLATES

  • Provide drinks or food in reusable cups that are cleaned by the venue or a third party.

  • If using cans, provide ample recycling bins with clear signage

  • No compostables.
    Why not?

CAN CARRIER
REUSE or KEG ONLY

Join, start, or fund a reuse program for reusable can carriers or glass bottle reuse. Or serve wine, beer and cocktails exclusively in kegs.

COMPOST

Provide ample compost bins with clear signage, if food is served. Many existing waste haulers offer compost services. 

Vehicle Charging Stations

LOW CARBON TRAVEL

Provide incentives for low carbon travel like carpooling or EV cars. 1/3 of carbon emissions are travel to the venue. See a few ways this can be mitagated here.

WATER REFILL
STATIONS

Provide water stations for free water refills and allow fans to bring their own reusable bottle . This can eliminate the need for thousands of water bottles.
