Musicians and Concert Goers Across the U.S. Can Now Green Up their Concert Experience

Green Mountain Energy Company and Sustainable Waves Team Up To Offer Eco-Tunes^sm for Musicians and Concert Goers Eager to Help Fight Global Warming and also introduce the First "Be Green Ticket^sm" Purchasing Program

AUSTIN, Texas-Jan. X, 2007-Green Mountain Energy Company, the nation’s leading provider of cleaner electricity and carbon offset products, and Sustainable Waves, a national provider of mobile solar powered sound and staging solutions, have initiated Eco-Tunes^sm a comprehensive program for carbon neutral music tours and events, which includes the availability of solar powered stages and sound systems. This initiative also includes the option for concertgoers to purchase a Be Green Ticket^sm for these events, which will be the nations first green ticket program certified by Green-e, the nations leading independent certification and verification program for renewable energy.

"As a musician, I am so excited to be involved with Green Mountain and Sustainable Waves. Anytime I can do something positive for the environment, I’m always ready to jump in," says G. Love, front man for the band G. Love and Special Sauce. "By making our tours carbon neutral, we embrace alternative, renewable energy sources and a cleaner, healthier future for our children. I’m down with the "green" for sure."

"Eco-Tunes^sm is unique because it offers fans, musicians, and promoters a one stop shop for greening up their concert experiences," said Mark McLarry, Chief Executive Officer of Sustainable Waves.

Green Mountain Energy Company and Sustainable Waves are partnering with several innovative ticketing agencies, such as In Ticketing and All Access Today, to offer the new Be Green Ticket^sm option to concert goers nationwide. When a Be Green Ticket^sm is purchased, event goers are provided with up to 1,000 kilowatts (kWh) of Green-e certified renewable energy certificates to offset approximately 1,300 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO₂,) a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. These offsets can be applied towards the concertgoers emissions that were generated in traveling to the event or other household emissions. To put this in perspective, offsetting 1,300 lbs of CO₂ is the equivalent of not driving a car about 1,500 miles for one year.

"This is an exciting opportunity for music fans who want to help fight global warming by supporting new forms of renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, and biomass energy," said Gillan Taddune, Chief Environmental Officer of Green Mountain Energy Company. "Upgrading to a Be Green Ticket^sm makes it almost effortless and the Green-e certification process makes the purchase process both transparent and verifiable".
