Project Zero is thrilled to announce Carbon Roadie, an innovative carbon calculator that is set to support touring musicians’ efforts to mitigate their carbon footprints. This tool can be used by music artists to reduce their impact on the environment resulting from travel, haulage, power generation and other activities that are part of touring. The tool uses the latest greenhouse gas emissions data to calculate total emissions and provide a picture of a tour’s overall carbon footprint. 

Once relevant tour data has been entered into the system, Carbon Roadie will measure the carbon emitted and allow tours to support natural climate solutions by investing in Project Zero's Blue Carbon Fund. Project Zero’s Blue Carbon Fund will support projects that protect and restore ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems. 

We focus on the blue carbon ecosystem of mangroves, where every 3 mangroves sequesters one metric ton of carbon over its lifetime. Mangroves also filter and cool water and are habitats for fish, turtles and birds. By employing Carbon Roadie and contributing to the Blue Carbon Fund, artists are setting themselves on the road to a zero-carbon future. 

Our partner Global Coralition has planted +720,000 mangroves to date along with their partner Despri Haiti who have planted another 1.2 million mangroves and 3 million trees.
