One of Dubconscious' most sacred mantras is 'Be the change you wish to see in the world.' We deeply believe in those important words, and do our best to represent our ideals as we tour. We aim to live and tour sustainably by using bio-diesel fuel, recycling, selling organic merchandise and educating our fans about critical issues. Constant travel requires an incredible amount of fuel. The world collectively burns more than 81 million barrels of oil every 24 hours. We choose to neutralize our environmental footprint by buying farm-grown, organic biodiesel. Biodiesel is a good, clean fuel source that any diesel engine can run on. Our tour bus purrs happily from B-20% to B-100%. While finding alternative fueling stations on the road can be a challenge, it's easily overcome by proper tour planning.

Our hope is that, as the renewable fuel industry progresses, everyone else will eventually change to more sustainable energy sources. On tour, we separate and recycle everything we can. We keep a separate recycling bin on our bus and ensure it gets delivered to the proper location. Beyond that, we're also concerned about the volume of glass that gets thrown away at events across the country every night. As a solution, we're developing a plan to proactively collect thousands of glass bottles at venues, then transport and recycle them. We want to teach festivals and venues how easy it is to 'close the loop' and become sustainable. Expect to see us in action at all our shows by mid-summer. Aside from recycling, we also champion sustainable consumption. We believe that individuals must vote with their dollar and speak their beliefs. Distributors must also make the change, so we are committed to only
