Welcome to Sound Emissions, the Australian music community website which has been specifically developed to assist artists, fans, band managers, festival producers, tour promoters and record companies tackle the most significant environmental crisis to face the planet, that of Climate Change.
Sound Emissions provides YOU with the tools, tips and information to avoid, reduce and offset carbon emissions associated with gigs, tours and festivals across the country.
Sound Emissions will shortly celebrate its first birthday and has received an enormous amount of positive feedback from the music industry. We have had a steady stream of industry thoughts, ideas and recommendations about how to better assist people in their various music endeavours to avoid, reduce and offset their carbon emissions.
As a result we are pleased to provide a new Case Studies page (link located above) that gives artists, festivals producers, tour operators, music publishers and fans access to real life carbon programs. These downloadable case studies provide information about how various carbon initiatives were developed, implemented and the results and outcomes of these innovative programs.
We have also provided a Latest News page that provides information covering relevant industry advancements in systems and standards aimed at avoiding, reducing and offsetting carbon emissions.
Unlike any other industry sector in the country, the Australian music community is in an extremely unique and powerful position to engage with and influence a broad cross-section of the Australian public to make the necessary changes to slow the effects of climate change. This is evidenced by a number of "environmental champions" in the Australian music community who continually participate in cutting edge environmental programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
No matter which part of the Australian music community you belong to Sound Emissions provides practical advice, simple tools and information to help reduce the climate impacts of your gig, festival or tour. Better still we will show you how you can involve your audience members, staff and crew to make a huge difference in lightening the music industry’s carbon footprint.
