Dave Matthews Band Offsets CO2 Emissions from Touring Activities Since 1991

06/27/2006

Dave Matthews Band announced today that it has arranged for NativeEnergy and Clean Air-Cool Planet to offset 100% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from touring activities since 1991.  By offsetting the CO2 pollution that touring activities such as transporting gear, powering stages and air travel generate, Dave Matthews Band is taking a proactive role in fighting global warming and helping Native America begin to restore sustainable homeland economies in balance with the Earth.

By announcing plans to offset 100% of the carbon dioxide emissions from past touring activities, Dave Matthews Band is demonstrating how to turn attention toward positive solutions to global problems.  Consumers everywhere can take the same proactive approach and visit www.nativeenergy.com  to offset their travel, auto, home or business emissions by helping to build new renewable energy projects that reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to generate electricity.  

With NativeEnergy, the band ensures that its CO2 offsetting actually contributes directly to the construction of new, Native American and Native Alaskan renewable energy generators whose clean electricity will displace energy that would otherwise have to come from polluting coal-fired plants, reducing CO2 and other pollution on behalf of the band.  In addition, DMB’s purchase supports financially additional offsets from wind farms in the Great Plains, that displace electricity on one of the most intensely coal-fired grids in the country.
