RADIOHEAD PROMOTE ECO-FRIENDLY CONCERT-GOING

Posted by Rachel Lux on 02-May-08 @ 01:38 PM

If you were lucky enough to score tickets to one of Radiohead's summer gigs, the band are asking you to consider "green" modes of transportation. According to a press release, Radiohead commissioned a "carbon footprint" report from their last two tour. They recommend taking the following steps to cut down on carbon emissions this summer:

Radiohead are encouraging fans to consider public transport where available, or increased carpooling for shows outside city centers. Gig goers can compare the CO2 generated by different methods of transport by visiting an online calculator on Radiohead's website. Some of the venues have also helped by offering incentives to fans coming by public transport or in a full car.

After the tour, the band will invite ticket holders to submit information on their methods of travel so further research can be done on carbon emissions and methods to reduce them.

Radiohead's production team will also be posting information on how the band are trying to reduce their own carbon emissions on tour without compromising the quality of the shows.
