Tomo answers your Eco-Questions!

Citation :

This month I asked Tomo two eco-based questions that have been submitted by the Echelon and here are his answers:





1) we all know that the world is going through global warming
which is a natural process but with our bad behavior we’re making it
faster so i’d like to know what is it that you guys do to be friendly
with the environment on your daily activities?? (something that not many
people do but that you know it can make a big difference)- submitted by Klau





TOMO: SOMETHING THAT I DO AT HOME IS UNPLUG MY APPLIANCES WHEN
THEY ARE NOT IN USE. MANY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THIS BUT WHEN YOU LEAVE
APPLIANCES PLUGGED IN (TOASTER, MICROWAVE, ETC…) THEY ARE STILL RUNNING
ELECTRICITY THROUGH THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY
DON’T THINK OF BUT IS AN EASY THING TO DO AND WILL HELP A LOT, AND WILL
ALSO HELP KEEP YOUR ELECTRICITY BILLS DOWN AS WELL WHICH IS A BONUS ON
TOP OF IT ALL.





2) You guys have been touring around the world, what is the biggest environmental problem you’ve seen on a global scale?- submitted by Becks





TOMO: PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES. THESE HAVE BECOME A NORMAL PART OF
OUR LIVES AND PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT THEY DON’T HAVE A BIG IMPACT.
PURIFY YOUR TAP WATER AT HOME, BUY GLASS BOTTLES, BUY WATER IN BULK.
WE ARE MORE GUILTY OF THIS THAN ANYONE SINCE WE ARE ALWAYS ON TOUR AND
IT HAS BECOME A NORMAL THING TO HAVE CASES OF WATER PROVIDED FOR THE
BAND AND CREW IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE PURE DRINKING WATER. WE HAVE
ACTIVELY STARTED MAKING IT PART OF OUR RIDER TO PROVIDE WATER IN GLASS
BOTTLES FOR EVERYONE, AND ALSO FOR US TO CARRY AROUND ALUMINUM WATER
CANISTERS WITH PURIFIED TAP WATER IN THEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
SEE NO MATTER WHERE WE GO AND THATS SCARY WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH
WE TRAVEL AND HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE ARE IN THE WORLD…




Thank you to our Echelon members for your questions and remember to
keep sending them in! I’ll choose two more for this next month and have
them answered for you on the first of the month!

Euh j'ai une question, unplug ca veut dire débranché? ( pas douée en anglais repérée)

Je trouve ça vraiment cool qu'ils se mobilisent pour la planète ne serait ce qu'avec des petits gestes simples de la vie de tous les jours. Moi qui suit une citoyenne verte ça fait vraiment plaisir

Tomo answers your Eco-Questions(Part two)!

This month I asked Tomo two more eco-based questions that have been submitted by the Echelon and here are his answers:

1) You guys have been touring for a pretty long time now, so
you travel a lot which isn’t always as good for the planet, what do you
do to make it friendlier to the planet? - submitted by Tara

TOMO:
WE USE A SERVICE CALLED “TERRA-PASS” TO OFFSET ALL OF OUR CARBON
EMISSIONS FROM FLYING AND BUSING ALL OVER THE PLACE. SINCE WE CAN’T
ALWAYS USE BIO-DIESEL BUSES AND SINCE AIRPLANES STILL NEED JET FUEL TO
FLY, ITS THE BEST WE CAN DO.



2) Are you optimistic or pessimistic, do you believe
that people can make a change and save the beautiful planet we have
borrowed or are we doomed to kill ourselves and the planet with us? - submitted by psychoticvanilla

TOMO:
I PERSONALLY AM AN OPTIMIST. I BELIEVE THAT THE GENERATION COMING UP
TRULY UNDERSTANDS THAT ITS NOT A JOKE, AND THAT ALL THE TALK OF GLOBAL
WARMING AND ALL OF THE OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT ARE WELL KNOWN
NOW ARE REAL AND THAT ITS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO MAKE CHANGES IN
EVERYDAY LIFE. IF EVERYONE DOES SOMETHING SMALL EVERYDAY TO BE A PART
OF THE SOLUTION, THEN TOGETHER AS A WHOLE WE WILL SEE BIG RESULTS… ITS
UP TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THOUGH, ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN FROM A FEW TRUE
BELIEVERS DOING ALL THE WORK…

Thank you to our Echelon members for your questions and remember to
keep sending them in! I’ll choose two more for this next month and have
them answered for you on the first of the month!
