Now online: @timshiel in conversation with @heidilenffer (@feat_artists / @cloud_control) and music researcher @kyledevinephd about the environmental impact of music.
What role can or should artists play in the climate emergency?

.@feat_artists is an artist-led movement to accelerate the clean energy future. They invest in renewable energy projects to reshape the environmental legacy of live music and give us all a way to be part of real solutions to the climate crisis. More info: https://t.co/Bw6N65BhHg
@NCESummit2020 @YaelStone Thanks so much for the work you’re doing ❤️ I can’t attend due to a family wedding but looking to send some of the FEAT team to rep
@violetajaguar I’m hearing ya loud and clear Violeta. We’re all in the same bind, given we’re embedded in a fossil fuel powered economy and need to work to live. But making choices to minimise flights & intentionally pursuing climate sol’ns in parallel is a great start👍🏼
"The @feat_artists fund will take stakes in a range of solar builds, including Queensland's Brigalow solar project. The investment vehicle is managed by the team at @myfuturesuper, the fossil free superannuation fund."

Climate Change: Massive Attack working with scientists to remove carbon emissions from concerts and touring. Researchers say results will be made available to all musicians and will transform the music industry #climatechange https://t.co/wZdNdNoc4K
For smaller artist touring is what keeps them afloat, we speak to Heidi Lenffer from Aussie rock band Cloud Control who have come up with a different idea to stay sustainable.
@PeteGeorgeCEnv@cleannrgcouncil Good Qs Peter- the $5 minimum was to make it easy for bands at ALL levels to be part of the solution. Heaps of our bands have done their own footprint calcs & invested the equivalent, & we have about 5 artists currently touring using the surcharge model 👍🏼
We've got a special & important feature coming at you very soon 🌍 @feat_artists is an incredible artist led-renewable energy movement who are building a powerful new environmental legacy for the music industry. Can't wait to learn all about their incredible work...MORE SOON!💚
I've partnered with @feat_artists - An artist-led solar farm here in Australia! 🌿☘️🌱🌲I grew up on a national park with very environmentally focused parents. Nature is a big inspiration behind what I do. So happy to be a part of Feat - https://t.co/Nm1HbPiNev
A group of your favourite Aussie bands, @feat_artists, are reducing the environmental impact of touring by investing in renewable energy. The first project is the 34.5 MW Brigalow Solar Farm in Queensland, which will be finished next year. Find out more https://t.co/mFmfB57oRu
1. This is awesome cos @coldplay are challenging the global conversation & asking the hard/right Q’s
2. Most bands can’t afford to stop touring
3. So we built a way for artists to invest in renewables w/ every tour & accelerate the solution 🌐 https://t.co/QMsd9sUyfh
