Welcome to our new Green page!  Like many of you, we have become more and more focused on reducing our environmental impact, not just as individuals, but as a touring unit.  We hope to use this page to put a spotlight on green initiatives that we're able to incorporate into our world, and hopefully share ideas with you that you may be able to incorporate into yours.

Above is a photo of Tommy at the biodiesel pump.  This particular grade of biodiesel is called B20, which is a mix of 20% biodiesel and 80% normal diesel.  A higher grade wasn't practical because of the freezing temps the bus was driving through in November and December.  But think of it this way - for every five tanks of 235 gallons each, one entire tank was comprised of biofuel which was neither mined nor imported.  Imagine what a difference it would make if every tour bus and every truck were able to do this!  The reality is that they CAN do this, it's just a matter of increasing production to meet the demands.  This is a perfect example of how we can decrease our dependency on foreign oil, and it's within our grasp today!

The Daily Green
- Check out the nice mention of Styx on the '07 Top 10 Green Celebs list!

Bid for Green
- New friends of ours!  Shaw/Blades recently hooked up with Bid for Green, a fantastic company and service that actually delivers Bio-Diesel fuel to us on the road.  This is a big deal, because the scarce availability of bio-diesel makes it tough for touring acts, driving around in large and environmentally unfriendly busses and trucks, to fuel up with anything but the standard ol' diesel fuel.  With the folks at Bid For Green making it easy, we have no more excuses!  Styx is looking forward to partnering with these guys in 2008.
