Alternative act Grouplove has become the first band in the U.S. to be certified climate positive by the United Nations.
The Los Angeles group achieved this by partnering with Chooose, a company that offers subscriptions to reduce CO2, for their upcoming tour. The shows are in support of their new LP, Healer, which arrived on Friday (March 13th).
Although the tour has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when Grouplove does hit the road, the band will stay in sustainable hotels, drink from reusable bottles, order vegetarian meals on their rider, use in-house electricity, wear second-hand clothing and take all measures while traveling to reduce its carbon footprint.
Singer Hannah Hooper said, “Unlike our president, we trust in science and want to lower our carbon footprint. We found Chooose to help us do this. We hope you are doing your part in taking care of our beautiful planet.”
Healer follows the band's 2016 album Big Mess and features the single “Deleter,” which is currently Number 11 on the Modern Rock radio chart.
