In the future we wish to take it even further. Are you ready to go green with us?
The importance of a sustainabile lifestyle
As for the statistics, at the end of the 20th century carbon emissions were 22.6 billion metric tons, in 2021 this number went up to 37.12 billion tons. Furthermore, our planet is heating up every year since 2010 with almost 1°C, which is a breaking record. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ecological problems that humanity is facing. That is why many companies try to be more sustainable and eco-friendly. We are pleased to share that Gigstarter is not an exception to this case.
Sustainable live music booking
There are all kinds of factors that cause pollution during a live music event such as transportation, plastic cups, electricity during performance. Depending on the number of guests, the kilos of CO2 released during your occasion are going to be compensated with a little bit of help of a small donation. The initiative can come from both parties: the booker and the artist! We believe that the Gigstarter community is capable of impressive contributions to make the earth a greener place.
Offsetting your footprint in music
By offsetting your emissions, you have a direct impact on a fragile and fragmented ecosystem in southern Brazil. More than 70% of this forest has been cut down to make room for agriculture. With reforestation projects by The Green Branch, CO2 is stored back in the soil and trees. In the long run, this is better for the atmosphere and the ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's strong UV rays. By offsetting your CO2 emissions, you invest in the cooling shade of forests. That's how you buy a natural air conditioner that will work for decades to come!
On our Support Page you can calculate the amount of CO2 that can be compensated based on the amount of people visiting you event. Let's say your even attracts 50 visitors, with only €13,- you can compensate for 615.00 kilo of CO2.
