loved every second of this
This video was great! I really hope people take more about the environmental impact of streaming, touring, mech, etc. It's incredibly important that we recognize the impact these things have so we can work to make sure we can continue enjoying them in the future โค
this desveres all the views!
thank you for your video! very intresting
I'm a singer and I actually started a Patreon to help support my music because I don't feel like touring and selling merch (in part because it's completely unsunstainable). I make music about the Earth so it would feel too weird to do that ๐ We could talk about it if you want! ๐
but shouldn't you return the wristband after the concert?
Great video – really interesting to see the challenge of trying to be climate conscious and support your interests. Such a relevant challenge for the modern world
