    Didn’t her recent tour require 90+ semi trucks just to go from city to city? Not even going to mention all the emissions that result from whenever they have to travel by plane.

    Yes, popular music acts that tour are a HUGE part of the problem

    They absolutely are not. 90 trucks is nothing.

    At any given time there are millions of semis (2.97 million total) driving the streets. Literally every single thing you’ve ever purchased in your life has been on a semi.

    90 trucks driving for a couple months is not significant.

      I already mentioned I was wrong about the air travel. I looked up the numbers and edited my comment immediately.

      Yeah the trucks are a drop in the sea as well.

      But stop kidding yourself that the 90 semi trucks is nothing. It’s all pollution.

      What other tour and/or concert is slipping around 90 semi trucks??

      You bring up a good point that there are millions of semi trucks on the road. But that’s ridiculous to compare her 90 semi trucks to all the trucks on the road

      Let’s compare her to other touring artists. To be honest I don’t have the numbers off top of my head I’ll have to look him up. But I was reading an article the other day about how her tour is one of the largest productions to date.

      So no, her 90 trucks are not a huge part of the problem. That wording was wrong on my part. But among touring artist, she is easily one of the biggest polluters.
