Touring Musicians Are Brutal on the Environment

[Saul Goodman]

An interesting article.

UK researchers studied the tours of five musicians using a carbon-tracking tool to measure their environmental impact. The research found that, combined, the artists added 19,314 kilograms of CO2 to the environment in only 6 months — the equivalent of taking nearly twenty flights back and forth from New York City to London.

Touring musicians are brutal on the environment

But eco-conscious musicians: Don’t fret. There are a few options besides cutting the amp cord all together.

Desperate is more how I'd see it - even more so seeing as no bands are touring anywhere, and are unlikely to be doing so for many, many months.

I think it will be a long long time before the supergroups referenced in that article start globetrotting in the same manner.

Good point.

Climate change caused by plane travel won’t be a problem in the future, so no point discussing it now.

There's already several threads for that, but if you want to go on about U2 and Coldplay's carbon footprint in two year's time (or whatever), feel free.

It literally says in the first paragraph that Coldplay won't be touring. If anyone can think of any better way to improve their environment, especially those of us who live near a stadium, I'd like to hear it.

Sadly it only says that they would "would not be touring to promote their newest album “Everyday Life,” which leaves a threat hanging over all of us.

This thread has so far featured U2, Coldplay and now Sting. Haven't we all suffered enough?

Before posting on this thread I should do a search for a different thread and then bump that rather than post on this thread?

before you contribute to this, or indeed any other, thread you should ask yourself 'is this post really necessary?' and then go and do something else.

At least we haven’t had Radiohead yet

It's a good job it's only Coldplay's flights that emit CO2.

If you want to talk about a specific subject, it's generally considered the norm to post your comments on a thread about that specific subject. That's why separate threads exist and are created.

Yours are worse. Still at least you boosted your post count some more. Getting ever closer to being number 1.
