Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
Rob, I've been reading about ways to protect the environment,
and I've decided to eat less meat and maybe drive my car less too.
Well, good for you, Neil.
And flying less can also help reduce air pollution.
Right.
Flying and driving less are two good ways to combat climate change,
because they reduce your carbon footprint.
That's the amount of carbon dioxide or CO2 released into the atmosphere as a result of your everyday activities.
The idea of reducing carbon emissions is catching on in a music industry too.
Bands and artists who go on tour around the world generate large carbon footprints.
So recently, some music groups like massive attack and green day started thinking about ways to reduce the impact their tours are having on the environment.
Green day, what a good name for a band trying to be environmentally friendly.
Today, we'll be finding out about bands and musicians who want to continue going on tour,
but do it in ways which reduce their environmental impact.
And of course, we'll be learning some related vocabulary on the way.
