JBT and CLIF Bar's GreenNotes program are giving you a Good Excuse to Get Involved! Grand National,
the John Butler Trio's fourth full-length release on Jarrah Records,
highlights John's personal quest to create a more "universal kind of
music." This album is a creation that moves listeners a bit closer to
the group's all-encompassing vision of human experience. John Butler
believes in the power of love, compassion and personal evolution.
Through his music, he hopes to inspire people to think about how they
can take their own steps to affect positive change both socially and
environmentally. On this fall's Good Excuse Tour, JBT is encouraging fans to take action in their communities. In San Diego, San Francisco, and Seattle,
JBT will get out and join Clif Bar, fans and local organizations to
make some environmental change — they'll attend events to lend a hand,
and a little music. Find out more about these events, and opportunities in your town. CLIF
Bar and GreenNotes are proud to team up with JBT to help them spread
their message of hope and peace on the road, and to give fans a Good
Excuse to join them. Through the partnership with CLIF Bar, JBT is
taking the following steps on tour: - Reducing the amount of waste produced while on tour
- Fuelling the tour bus with biodiesel
- Offering an organic cotton t-shirt option to fans
- Using 100% recycled paper and soy based inks for all printed materials Reducing the amount of waste produced while on tour
- Providing a forum for local environmental groups at each show
- Recycling on board the bus and backstage at venues
- Requesting organic food backstage at all shows
- Minimizing the idling of their bus when not in use
- Staying at hotels identified as more sustainable
- Offsetting the tour's remaining CO2 emissions by purchasing renewable wind energy credits from NativeEnergy
