A2: Sustainable Tour

Local musician Chris Bathgate has launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to build a sustainable “touring vehicle.” From his Kickstarter page: “Touring bands burn a lot of gas. Chris alone this year has needed over 700 gallons this year for touring. Waste vegetable oil powered vehicles still require a small amount of diesel to operate, but significantly less. Gas is Chris’ biggest expense on the road. So decreasing the overhead for touring means a more reasonable wage for him and his band, a more sustainable career, and the ability to fund other projects like recording, creative packaging, and an overall higher quality of life on the road.” [Source]
