After Radiohead’s Thom Yorke expressed apprehension about touring on a bus because of the detrimental effects of carbon, singer KT Tunstall voiced her opinion, saying:
I don't agree with that argument (that touring is band for the environment). He puts out less carbon output than a massive conglomerate company. And that massive conglomerate company can do nothing, or isn't interested in doing anything raising awareness about the problem. But Thom Yorke’s got an incredible voice and there's no point in sabotaging that.
Tunstall further urged Yorke to continue with touring saying, “And someone like (him), I’m like please go on tour! Because so many people will follow what you say, because they really respect you. And they know that you really know what you’re talking about.”
Tunstall apparently also knows what she’s talking about. An advocate for green touring, (she cut CO2 emissions in her recent tour by using biodiesel fuel) Tunstall is due to perform at the Golden Green Party, a first time after-party event, which will take place at the Golden Globes on January 15th.
