U2's Ambitious Plan for a Carbon-Neutral Las Vegas Residency

U2's Green Initiative: Bono and The Edge on Achieving Carbon Neutrality at Las Vegas Sphere Residency Las Vegas, NV – September 28, 2023 – Global music icons U2 have announced ambitious plans to make their upcoming Las Vegas residency at the Sphere a carbon-neutral event. In an exclusive interview with Channel 4 News, Bono and The Edge discussed the innovative measures they are taking to minimize their environmental footprint. "The idea that you can't do anything because you might have a carbon footprint, I think that's the wrong attitude," The Edge stated, emphasizing the band's proactive approach. Their strategy goes beyond traditional carbon offsetting; they are actively exploring methods to draw down carbon emissions through natural processes, such as soil regeneration. Bono added, "There's a soil regeneration phenomenon happening in campuses with very clever people. It's not our idea, but we've been doing a lot of research into this over recent years, and that's where we think we can contribute." This highlights the band's commitment to researching and implementing sustainable practices beyond simply offsetting their carbon emissions. The band's commitment to sustainability is not only commendable but also demonstrates a growing trend among major artists to address their environmental impact. Their innovative approach to carbon neutrality could serve as a model for other large-scale productions in the entertainment industry.
