Music and Climate Change

Pearl Jam are in the midst of a 6-month, 69-date, world tour, and they are offsetting emissions of CO2 released on the tour -- trucks, buses, airplane travel, hotel rooms, concerts venues and fans driving to and from their concerts -- by providing funding to nine nonprofit organizations that help to reduce global warming.

The Premises is a music studio in Hoxton, London, which has 18 solar panels on the roof. The panels generate enough electricity to power its guitars, amplifiers and microphones all year round.

They are just two examples of how one sector of business can moderate its impact upon the climate.
