the bama green project is an environmental philanthropy between reverb, izstyle, and the dave matthews band. the organization celebrates the environmentally conscious behaviors of dmb members and also serves to educate dmb fans around the world on being green.
at dmb concerts, fans have the opportunity to purchase bama green stickers for $5. by taking the sticker to the bama green tent inside the venue, fans are able to receive a free water bottle and either coupon for a free burrito or for free ben and jerry's ice cream. throughout the venue are several brita water filter stations where fans are able to refill their water bottles with clean, fresh, filtered water. there is also information available at the tent about being more environmentally conscious, from supplying information on recycling to encouraging fans to carpool to shows.
the band is also taking steps to reduce their own carbon footprint. band members drink from reusable water bottles, promote recycling and waste reduction, and use biodiesel fueling on all of their tour buses. many t-shirts and other merchandise is made of organic cotton and even recycled materials. according to the reverb.org website, "dmb fans neutralized over 4.8 million pounds of co2" simply by carpooling to shows and recycling cell phones.
