BRIGHTBLACK MORNING LIGHT have just embarked on their two- month Winter Crystal Totem Turr–a trek that will span the continent, Lewis and Clark style, from Anacortes, WA to Annandale, NY. That is a lot of ground to cover, and traveling in the style of the times (powered by the internal combustion engine) it will create a lot of carbon emissions. As you can see from the turr's title, we’ve already eliminated our consumption of the letter “o” by 30%, but we wanted to do more. Inspired by Al Gore’s brave stand against all the hot air released by this year’s Oscars, we are partnering with Terrapass to offset the emissions from BRIGHTBLACK MORNING LIGHT's tour!
Here’s how it works:
For every purchase you make via the Matador Store (http://www.matadorrecords.com/store) for the next two months, Matador will purchase 50lbs of CO2 offset from Terrapass. Being the big supporters they are, Terrapass is going to match 10% of our contribution.
We've calculated that the band's van, all concert attendees travel to and from the venue and electricity to power the show will create about 30,000 lbs of CO2 emmissions. Our goal is to offset every single ounce.
