U2 to help raise money for the Dora-1 geothermal project

Irish rockers, U2 have done their part for humanitarian causes earlier and are now looking to save our environment too. The band will go green by raising funds for the Turkish Dora-1 geothermal plant. This will be done by selling Offset Options’ carbon offset credits for $1.89 that will top the concert ticket prices. Purchase these credits and you offset CO2 from travelling to the U2 concert of choice by sending money directly to the Dora-1 project or any other project like this by Offset Options. The band hopes they will rock up $450,000.

However, U2 concerts blow up a whole load of carbon themselves. Their most recent show involved the use of three 390-ton stages with 200 crew members and a satellite link-up to the International Space Station. Their 18 month tour produced 65,000 tons of CO2.
U2 needs to clean up their act too while helping with carbon offsets.
