Vienna Teng Goes Green for Caravan Tour
April 27th, 2007 by dd
Vienna Teng going on tour this year, called the Green Caravan Tour. Not only is she working with Habitat For Humanity, but the tour itself aims to be carbon neutral. They sell eco-friendly merchandise, offset all flights with Native Energy, buy local organic food, and bike instead of driving. Vienna, who admits to having been influenced by An Inconvenient Truth, has this to say about her interest in working for the environment:
I’ve always wanted to do more than just play shows and promote myself on tour; music can feel like a dangerously self-important endeavor, given the myriad other ways a person with a college education can be useful to the world. If I’m going to crisscross the country year after year, burning fuel and accepting people’s money and goodwill, I figure I should give back more than just songs. [Ecorazzi]
