Incubus is only the latest set of rockers to decide that it is actually easy to be green. For their current tour, they have included such green measures as traveling with biodiesel fueled tour buses, selling organic cotton merchandise and using recycled paper for pamphlets and advertising.

“This is the first time we’ve actually catered a whole tour towards it,” drummer Jose Pasillas says during a phone interview from Arendal, Norway.
“We’ve always been sort of eco-conscious on all our tours, but this is the first time we’re doing it this extensive.”
“It’s nice to be able to get to a point where we can actually help as much as we can to all these different needs,” says Pasillas about the various causes the band supports.
In addition to greening their tour, the band has found success with their non-profit, the Make Yourself Foundation. Since 2003, Incubus has raised almost $900,000 for their favorite charities, such as the Surfrider Foundation, The Painted Turtle and Carbon Neutral.
These are a group of rockers who know how to do it right!
