I saw this in Whitney's latest HeadCount Gulf Coast Restoration e-newsletter.

From what I read on the website, this seems to be a project of the nonpartisan nonprofit Women of the Storm.

DMB's SO MUCH TO SAVE recycling program

Received this info in an email from DMB:

Dave Matthews Band's SO MUCH TO SAVE program is back for a second year of educating and motivating fans to recycle, save energy, and reduce their environmental impact!

In exchange for your participation with SO MUCH TO SAVE, DMB will hook you up with a free SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 downloadable album. SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 features live tracks from Dave Matthews Band as well as supporting acts on tour including Avett Brothers, Gomez, Hill Country Revue, Switchfoot, Umphrey's McGee, and Yonder Mountain String Band.

Look for the SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers and recycling bins at concerts in the venue parking lots, and help keep the lots clean. Recycle at one of the SO MUCH TO SAVE stations or with a volunteer and receive a card with a unique code. Use the code to download the SO MUCH TO SAVE 2009 album-for free! If you have already recycled at a show or are not able to make it to a show - you can still download the album by pledging to recycle and save energy. Visit the SO MUCH TO SAVE website for complete information on DMB's SO MUCH TO SAVE Bama Green Project and to download the free album!

SO MUCH TO SAVE volunteers are needed at the shows - email volunteer@musicmatters.net and include your name and the show date(s)!


Footnote from the SO MUCH TO SAVE website:

SO MUCH TO SAVE is created and managed by MusicMatters and a part of Dave Matthews Band's Bama Green Project. The Bama Green Project is a partnership between Dave Matthews Band, Reverb, IZSTYLE, and MusicMatters that encompasses all of the environmental efforts undertaken by the band while on the road, in the studio or at home. Look for SO MUCH TO SAVE and the Bama Green Project Eco-Village at Dave Matthews Band shows this summer!

Hanson, Maggie Grace, and DMB remove their shoes today

Blake of TOMS shoes along with the band Hanson, Maggie Grace and Dave Matthews Band are all encouraging their fans to take off their shoes for 1 day - April 16, 2009. Take your shoes off and go barefoot for a day, get your friends involved and raise awareness that kids need shoes. TOMS shoes started in 2006 when Blake Mycoskie traveled to Argentina and discovered the kids there had no shoes to protect their feet. When they don’t protect their feet they can get infections and many other diseases. For every pair of shoes that are purchased, TOMS shoes gives a pair to kids in need.



Be sure to go to www.myspace.com/tomsshoes and add one of their badges to your page to encourage your friends to get involved.
