news

Thanks to a new Offset Options-developed website, U2 fans attending the Live Nation U2 360 World Tour can now make their travel to the show carbon neutral.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and the music industry is increasingly aware of the 'carbon footprint' of its activities. The Live Nation U2 360 Tour is implementing CO2 reduction measures as the tour progresses and has declared plans to offset remaining CO2 emissions at the end of the tour. In addition, the fans are encouraged to use less CO2-intensive travel options for getting to the show and, through u2-360.offsetoptions.com, have a way to easily and quickly neutralize their travel emissions by supporting a range of carbon offset projects, all meeting rigorous quality standards. The site allows fans to choose among projects from Social Carbon Company, NativeEnergy, South Pole Carbon Asset Management, and Climate Friendly

about carbon offsetting

What is offsetting?

Carbon offsetting is a service: the purchaser pays someone else to create greenhouse gas reductions on his or her behalf. Buying a carbon offset means investing in projects that avoid, reduce, remove, or destroy harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

The idea behind carbon offsetting is that greenhouse gas emissions spread very quickly around the planet. As a consequence their impact on global warming does not depend from where they originated. So while the opportunities for reductions of emissions might be limited in one location for reasons of cost or technology, the next best option may be to pay for a reduction to be made in another location.
