For all of you college students getting antsy with the last semester of the school year, get amp’d for the Campus Consciousness Tour. The Campus Consciousness Program is an initiative of one of my favorite non-profit organizations, whom I’ve actually had the pleasure of working with, Reverb. Half rock tour, half environmental campaign, The Campus Consciousness Tour (CCT) aims to inspire and activate students in an electric atmosphere while leaving a positive impact on each community the tour visits. In addition to educating and ➫ mobilizing students, the tour includes many greening elements and is run to have a minimal environmental footprint. Recording artists Drake, Ben Harper, and Relentless 7 will be this years artists involved in CCT.

TOUR GREENING ELEMENTS:
• Biodiesel-fueled buses and trucks
• CO2 offsets
• Recycling and composting stations
• Biodegradable catering supplies
• Eco-friendly cleaning supplies
• Organic, local food in catering
• Sustainable merchandise
