By ecowriter5 on May 3, 2008 - 4:44pm

Come on out and get active on sustainability! Take part in any of 30 Days events (http://www.30days.ca) for your chance to win a pair of side stage wristbands to see Jack Johnson Live in Vancouver with a copy of his latest album “Sleep Through the Static” available online and in stores now.

Jack Johnson's 2008 Global Tour greening initiative (http://www.jackjohnsonmusic.com/greening), joins hands with 30 Days of Sustainability in Vancouver in order to inspire music fans to create change.

How green is Jack? Really green. Jack Johnson's 2008 Global Tour will include powering buses, coaches and generators with bio diesel. The tour will offset its impact on climate change by contributing 65% of offset dollars toward renewable energy projects that use wind and solar power. 35% of offset dollars will go to programs that prevent deforestation. Sleep Through the Static released by Brushfire Records, is recorded using 100% solar energy.
