To promote their 2006 album 'Moon Over the Freeway,' the female folk duo went beyond using eco-friendly biodiesel by giving up fuel altogether and touring the U.S. on bicycles. In support of clean air, the Ditty Bops biked 4,700 miles, playing shows along the way. The journey did not come without its hardships, however, including what the band described as "diaper-rash sore ass."

How about Pink Floyd? Their greatest hits Echoes 2-CD set is "Carbon Neutral". So is David Gilmour's solo album released last year. Also, on the European leg of the Pink Floyd 1994 tour, a limited edition Volkswagon was given away at every show and it was "environmentally friendly" in fuel mileage and consumption.

It is about time the people of this planet realize now is the time to act. Like the bumber sicker says " Act locally, think globally!"

this is a band that should be recognized to the max. I will buy their albums this is a sincere group. They talk the talk and walk walk the walk amen. Pearl jam should take a lesson

Yeah, I'm "carbon neutral," too. I mean, I don't hate it, but it's not like I'm supporting it either. Oh, is there a different definition of carbon neutral? Is it any more rediculous than mine? Come on, folks, stop wasting your/our resources. That's the only real impact any of us lowly carbon lifeforms who can't afford the thousands of dollars of guilt money to buy our way out of environmental shame are going to have. How's that for a run-on sentence, BTW? Worked hard on stretching that one...
