given the high cost of energy and the higher level of eco-awareness, i expect interest to be high. there will be exhibits, workshops, food and entertainment — did you there’s a green band, the giving tree band?

The environmentally “sound” decisions of the band include performing with instruments that were built from naturally fallen trees and reclaimed woods, producing music with renewable energy, packaging CD’s with 100% recycled materials, and supporting numerous charities and eco-friendly organizations with their concerts and recordings.
