International launch of a specialist carbon calculator for touring.
The movement of people and production to put on music shows will have a climate impact. Julie's Bicycle, a UK-based group focused on greening the music industry, recently published Moving Arts a study identifying the scale of emissions UK bands touring globally produce and the solutions for joint industry action. A key solution is for every touring artist and the agents, promoters and suppliers to understand the emissions produced from a tour so they can make informed business decisions to cut emissions. At BIGSOUND we are launching the free and easy-to-use international Industry Green tour tool so wherever your tour is happening in the world you can calculate its emissions. We will be showing how the tool works with the demonstration of Australian band Drawn From Bees and UK band Melodramas.
