DMB: Under the Table and Dreaming of Carbon Neutrality

The Dave Matthews Band has been playing great music for years. An energetic live performance combined with a truly unique sound has made for countless unforgettable nights throughout the world. But with each show comes a slew of carbon dioxide emissions produced by transporting everything from stage lighting to instruments to Dave and the band members themselves from venue to venue.
Perhaps even better sounding than their music (at least to us at Shift…) was the band’s announcement on June 27, 2006 that they were officially going carbon neutral. By offsetting all of the carbon emissions they have produced by touring since 1991, DMB intends to take a firm stance on global warming.
In partnering up with NativeEnergy, the band will financially aid in the building of new clean energy sources to replace fossil fuel burning power plants throughout America. In fact, you don’t have to be a wildly successful musical group to offset your CO2 emissions.
