Radiohead urge fans to go green

Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood has suggested the band could quit touring.

Writing on the band’s blog
Greenwood shared the results of a study carried out by Best Foot Forward on the band’s behalf.

They discovered that comparing the band and the fans’ share of the total carbon dioxide output, moving from smaller amphitheatre venues shifts the fans share from 86 per-cent to 97 per-cent of total emissions.

The band pledged to ensure that future gigs are held in city centre to improve use of more efficient transport links and to reduce reliance on flights.

They’re asking fans to cut the amount of flights they take to gigs and to try raising average car occupancy to three per vehicle from the current 2.2

Greenwood said: “We’re aware that this study is tentative and partical but it’s a start.”
