Dish-Houston

DISH got a wonderful email last night...a friend from college works for Clorox which is owned by the same parent company who owns Brita Water Filters. The news was they had just hours before inked a GREAT DEAL with the Dave Matthews Band to support their summer tour and help it be more GREEN (DISH'S favorite word aside from FREE)!!!

There will be Hydration Stations at the shows provided by Brita to encourage fans to not buy bottled water and to keep the concert venue clear of plastic bottles!

This is part of the Passion for Music. Passion for the Planet project Brita started. The project's mission is "Helping the music industry go green by reducing plastic bottled water waste."

The Music Project works with fans and artists like Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Lady Antebellum, Guster, O.A.R. and Janelle Monáe to make concerts more sustainable by using Brita® filtered water and a reusable bottle instead of bottled water, saving more than 345 million plastic bottles from potentially ending up in landfills.

For the Music Project to succeed, it’s up to you – music fans.

Check out these actions and make your difference today. Also, follow them on Facebook to learn about exclusive giveaways and watch videos from the road.

Take the pledge to use a Brita® pitcher and a reusable bottle. Backstage at the DMB Caravan Tour, Brita® pitchers were used to save more than 20,000 plastic bottles.

Recycle your Brita® filter after about two months of use. Go green at home like your favorite artists - each filter can save 300 bottles from landfills. Need a reminder?

Spread the word and get involved by sharing the Music Project with your friends!

OH! and since the DMB show (with opening band Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros)...DISH will have a review for you tomorrow =)
