The multi-award winning Dave Matthews Band has a deep and long-standing commitment to environmental and other issues. In fact, their first public appearance, before they even had a name, was at the Earth Day concert in 1991. In 2006 the Dave Matthews Band announced their plan to offset 100% of CO2 emissions from their touring activities since 1991, with NativeEnergy and Clean Air-Cool Planet.

During their 2008 tour, the band encouraged fans to reduce their carbon footprint by 8.5 million pounds – by carpooling to the show, recycling and more – and this year, already famous for giving away their music, announced the So Much To Save campaign, whereby those who recycled at the show would receive a download code for the So Much to Save 2009 album.

Those unable to attend were not ignored. All you need to do to download the album is visit www.somuchtosave.org, commit to any one (or all) of five simple eco-actions and follow the instructions. For more on the band, their work and music visit www.davematthewsband.com
