The band has been working with environmental group, Reverb, in an attempt to reduce the tour's carbon footprint. According to DMB bassist Stefan Lessard, "We had two main goals with the greening of this tour, shrink our environmental footprint as much as possible, and bring a message to our fans that we all can do something good for the environment and have fun doing it."

The following initiatives have been put in place:

• Using B20 Biodiesel (20% Biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel) in all tour buses and trucks
• Neutralizing CO2 emissions from venue energy use, hotels, flights, and touring vehicles
• Reducing and recycling plastic, aluminum, paper and cardboard waste backstage
• Sustainable supplies and goods such as biodegradable and reusable catering products and local and organic food
• Eco-friendly organic cotton and bamboo merchandise for fans
• Inviting scores of local and national environmental groups to be a part of the Eco-Village to educate and engage fans

This project will undoubtedly be effective, but it's only half of the story. All of us attending a show at our favorite outdoor venue need to do our part as well. Of course I'm not expecting any type of Biodiesel fuels, but easy things, like carpooling or using public transportation. "What would you say?"
