Tour busses, guys. Tour busses. They aren’t not harmful, but they are a huge measure less harmful than sending her gear by truck and her by plane so she’s not inconvenienced. But if we were expecting her to be actually not harmful…tour busses that run on biofuel. Artists don’t enjoy being on the road in busses because, yeah, they take longer. But it’s her convenience weighed against the planet.
That's what I was saying, would a fleet of trucks and buses be any better from an emissions standpoint
Yes. Because the fleet of trucks and busses already exists. Say there are 20 trucks needed for her tour. 20 trucks + 1 plane is worse than 20 trucks and 1 bus. Especially if, as I mentioned, she actually cared and wanted to run on biofuel. She absolutely could. But it’s easier and more comfortable for her to say, “well I bought carbon credits!” while wasting jet fuel for her comfort alone.
