In addition to helping offset your drive or donating food, you can win a raffle for a solar backpack or an autographed First Act guitar up for silent auction, test out eco-friendly beauty products and talk with local groups about all sorts of environmental issues. It's a big undertaking so we're incredibly appreciative of your support! Here’s how you can help: Reverb is looking for a few good eco-volunteers that want to lend a hand with our environmental outreach and recycling efforts -- and of course see BNL in all their fabulousness! Reverb would like four volunteers per concert to come be a part of the Reverb eco-team to help hand out flyers to concert attendees, help at the eco-village when needed, and most importantly help us get the bags of recycling to an appropriate recycling spot in each community that the tour hits (this could be as simple as taking a bag or two home to add to your own recycling collection). In return, the volunteers will get into the concert for free (via a working pass), receive an organic "Barenaked Planet" t-shirt and get to meet & greet with members of BNL before the show! We need folks that feel like they're dedicated to the issue and to helping green this tour! If you want to be part of the eco-team at any of the dates this fall -- please email Reverb’s Josh Glasheen at: barenakedplanetvolunteer@gmail.com. Please put in the subject: ECO-TEAM - CITY, STATE - DATE – for example: "ECO-TEAM - MANCHESTER, NH -10/23" Remember to include your full name, and cell phone number so we can get in touch with you easily. Please also include a sentence or two about why you’d like to get involved with the greening effort on this tour. Volunteers will be selected on a first-come-first-served basis. Please understand that by submitting an email you are not automatically an eco-team member—we will get in touch with you to let you know if you’ve been selected. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the Barenaked Planet Eco-village this fall! Check out www.ReverbRock.org/BarenakedPlanet for more info.
