Radiohead Actively Reduces Their Carbon Footprint
By: DianeIn Musical Celebs on April 22nd, 2008
BBC News has reported that Britain band Radiohead canceled a live performance on Wednesday night’s late show with Conan O’Brien because of its concern over global warming. The appearance was set to be a part of a NBC’s Green Week line-up on shows.
But don’t worry just yet. In lieu of appearing live, the band recorded a live version of their performance in London that will be aired on Conan’s show instead.
The band member have always been concerned about the impact they leave on the earth, and were in this instance concerned about the carbon footprint they would leave when flying to America for the show.
Talking about the change in plans, they said that their recording in London has avoided leaving a carbon footprint that equals one car driving for an entire year.
Now only if other celebrities would be more self-aware when making travel or tour plans.
Way to go, Radiohead! See you Wednesday night on The Late Show.

Wait. But don’t they have to fly to the US for their shows anyway? I don’t get it, either way, they’ll still be creating a carbon footprint. Especially at the shows, lights and all. The tour buses on the other hand can be “green”. What will they use to warm up. Oilheat. If so, they should go with a B5 blend and avoid producing greenhouse gases and producing less emissions. That’s the way to go. Bioheat, the wave of the future. Working with NORA I have come to understand the importance of “green” and how we must do our part to conserve the planet.
