Pearl Jam Tickets – Pearl Jam Offsets Carbon Footprint From Tour With Trees
Pearl Jam’s 2009 Backspacer Tour soared from London to Canada and most everywhere around the U.S., drawing more than 480,000 fans to concert dates across the globe. Last year’s installment of the Backspacer Tour was considered a smash success for the rock band, but not so much from an environmental standpoint, as it was estimated that Pearl Jam’s tour bus and fans’ traveling caravans have burned up approximately 7,000 tons of carbon monoxide over the last year.
Recognizing the band’s environmental destruction, Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard recently announced a group effort to offset the band’s carbon footprint stemming from its 2009 tour. Pearl Jam recently invested $210,000 in trees to the band’s home state of Washington to make up for the fossil fuels burned during last year’s Backspacer Tour dates, making it clear that Gossard is starting an environmental revolution.
Reuters reported on Pearl Jam’s recent decision to use more than $200,000 to plant trees in Washington cities Seattle, Kent, Kirkland and Redmond, with Gossard explaining, “Pearl Jam is a band but we are also a business. We’re seeing ourselves as a Washington business, a regional business that is acknowledging its carbon footprint and hoping to inspire other businesses.” Aside from planting trees, the monetary donation will also go to clear invasive plants from the areas.
The Backspacer Tour continues into the spring of 2010 and has been selling heaps of <a href=”http://www.stubhub.com/pearl-jam-tickets/”>Pearl Jam tickets</a> from <a href=”http://www.stubhub.com/”>StubHub</a>, yet there’s no word on how (or if) this leg of the tour will operate in a more eco-friendly way. Stone Gossard is likely urging fans to carpool to Pearl Jam concerts this spring and summer, as the band’s recent environmental investment isn’t the first and surely won’t be its last.
Pearl Jam has constantly been at the forefront of nationwide movements – be they musical or other – since the early ’90s, and the band’s formation proves this point. At a time when Seattle grunge rock was just starting to take off, Pearl Jam staked a claim in the biz, rising to fame in the Pacific Northwest thanks to a core of rebel rockers including Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder and Dave Krusen (though Krusen’s spot in the band eventually gave way to a revolving door of drummers).
Pearl Jam caught wind with the grunge movement in its fledgling days, and the band became a national fixture in 1991, when their debut album Ten dropped. Battling fellow Washington grunge rockers Nirvana to become the top outfit in the genre, Pearl Jam took Ten all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, spawning the go-to classics “Alive,” “Black,” “Even Flow” and “Jeremy,” all huge hits on the charts.
Pearl Jam’s radio-ready tunes propelled them into the spotlight immediately, yet the rock ‘n’ rollers still refused to conform to the mainstream music scene, becoming even more popular because of their nonconformist tendencies. The band neglected to release any videos or singles from their 1993 album Vs., yet it still sold almost a million copies in its first week of release. Pearl Jam’s penchant for playing smaller venues instead of stadiums also helped the band become known as the rebel-rousing rockers they strived to be, and their independently-thinking ways have followed Pearl Jam into the 2000s.
Currently reaping the success of their 2009 release Backspacer, Pearl Jam continues to defy standards as the band keeps scoring No. 1 hits across the board. Backspacer, the group’s first independently released album, reached the top slot on the Billboard 200 last September upon release, and singles “Just Breathe” and “The Fixer” have both already reached the Top Five on the Rock Songs chart.
