    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 โค

    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 ๐Ÿ˜… We could talk about it if you want! ๐Ÿ™‚

    but shouldn't you return the wristband after the concert?
