Use portable water purifies! They could then drink "tap" water on tour, rather than ALL that nasty bottled water.

Radiohead could text message a code to those who have purchased tickets and create an entirely paperless ticketing process. Nothing to print, nothing to mail. The text message would be brought to the venue and verified.

I'd suggest that:

1) Radiohead have mid-day outdoor concerts power their equipment with solar cells.

2) if night concerts, Radiohead should install a power-generating mat under the spectators area. The band could tell the audience they're the power generators. In addition to a green concert, the band will have an enthusiastic dance floor!

To make their performances more sustainable, Radiohead could;

A) Arrange with Hosting cities for Day Passes for Public Transportation be printed on the back of tickets and/or be self-printable from online-ticket purchase system (buy your ticket and print your transit pass).

B) Could contact local food cooperatives to cater events with locally-grown produce. For instance, the local Food Cooperative could sell corn-on-the-cob in a central location.

C) Provide a water refilling station for patrons' reusable water bottles.

I tried posting on Myspace.com but it wouldn't work! So I thought I'd try to post it here...

I think that a certain amount of tickets could be given to fans in exchange for their commitment to exercise during the show: if a large enough amount of people were to generate energy via riding bikes hooked up to generators we could save on an enormous amount of energy; they could ride the bikes for 20 min intervals and switch with another fans... the energy generated by each person would sustain the power needed for such a large show. They could also ask fans to bring reusable water/drink containers for the drinks they will buy at the show. Instead of beer being poured into a plastic glass we could use our own re-usables and save on a huge amount of waste. A $.50 discount could be offered on drinks sold in this manner as well. Radiohead could also offer a small discount to people who choose to use public transit to get to their shows, show your pass get a free drink ticket or $5 off a Radiohead BAMBOO T-shirt! All merchandise: T's, posters, books, could be printed and made with sustainable Bamboo.

I'd LOVE to go to the Toronto show.... thanks for reading!

Radiohead should bombard their audience with graphic visuals of environmental disasters and casually encourage them to think carefully about what we have done and what can be done.

The bands immense influence on people should have a greater net effect than anything they personally could do to green up their tour.

Wow, ROCK and you find!

Way to go!

Raidohead could insist on paperless ticketing. Codes could be sent to cell phones or emails and electronically checked on site.

While on tour the band & crew could reduce waste by eating at restaurants were they have policies to reduce waste/compost/save energy/ue local produce. Or hire a knowledgeable health food chef! Whole foods reduce waste dramatically!

Composting toilets in their buses!

Vancouver show- highly efficient diesel car and sky train.

Radiohead is playing at Thunderbird Stadium at UBC. They could make a real difference to the campus, city and region by pledging their support to a one-of-a-kind on-campus sustainability project and Vancouver's last working farm. Namely,the UBC Farm which is currently under threat of development. The UBC Farm provides students, faculty and the broader community the opportunity to learn hands-on about how changes in the way food is produced and distributed are a key piece in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mitigating climate change, and in creating healthy local communities and economies. They offer one-of-a-kind programs from elementary school garden projects, to an urban Aboriginal community kitchen, to a student-run farmer's market, to apprenticeships in organic agriculture, to a diverse array of research into creating sustainable food systems.
