 This previous weekend on July 11, 2008 Dogwood Alliance had
the privilege of tabling at the Musique Automatique Festival in West Asheville.
We were able to enjoy music, live art, and food. While we were getting
signatures for the No Free Refills
campaign and informing outdoor enthusiasts of our Southern Forest Challenge,
we were also asking the musicians to play and active role in Greening
the music industry. Included are a few pictures from the evening.
We at Dogwood Alliance desire to partner with those in the
music industry to help them reduce their impact on our beautiful Southern
Forests by using recycled fibers in their packaging, reducing their packaging
when its an option, as well as using minimal plastic and plastic free packaging
with soy-based inks and water based coatings.
While music is a $40 billion industry, packaging alone is a
$124 billion industry! Dogwood Alliance
feels that these two industrial giants should together set a high bar when it
comes to protecting the Environment.
In addition, artists and recording studios can offset their
carbon emissions by purchasing renewable energy credits – which fund wind and
solar – from companies like Green
Mountain Energy and TerraPass.
Why stop there, though? Why not give a percentage of your
sales to an environmental charity? Visit Once Percent for the Planet
to find out who gives back and how you can too.
Thanks,
