Reverb is once again teaming up with Dave Matthews Band to make sure every Caravan stop is as environmentally friendly as possible. We’ll be offsetting the carbon footprint of every event, fueling the buses with biodiesel, making sure there’s recycling wherever you need it, bringing out local environmental non-profits and more. There’s also a ton you to do to take part in the greening efforts, both online and onsite. Check out what’s happening!
Bring your reusable water bottle! Dave Matthews Band and Brita FilterForGood encourage you to reduce bottled water waste at the Caravan! Fill up on filtered H2O for FREE at the Brita Hydration Stations located throughout the festival grounds. Carpool to the show with Zimride and your fellow DMB fans! Go online to find other festival-goers, save some gas money, lessen your impact on the environmental, and make some new friends on the ride.
Volunteer with Reverb! Volunteers help us spread some eco-goodness and in return gain free access to the festival on the day of their volunteer shift, and get a sweet volunteer tee too. Apply online!
