I’m a huge Dave Matthews fan. But it’s hilarious to me that they call him a champion for the environment when the last thing I remember him doing for the environment was dumping all the waste and toiletness mess off of a bridge into a river that flows into the ocean. Great for the environment, a true champion. All
Jokes aside Dave has most likely donated a whole lot of guap to charities benefiting the environment and more.

Ya, because the artists are the ones in charge of dumping the black tank, I don’t know how many famous people I’ve seen at the dump station hooking up their hose.🙄

Come on Dave CC isn’t the biggest problem facing the world at this time. CC has being going on since Jesus walk the earth. The biggest problem is corruption of humanity to. making money on this problem . And the garbage on the hill

Considering dislikes are disabled by default, what is the point of turning off likes? That goes to show you how much ted values their content nowadays.

Man, he really sucked down the woke Koolaid. Has Dave stopped using his private jet to get to venue to venue yet? I bet not. Just another “Do as I say, not as I do” fearmongering propagandist.

Guys we gotta stop cutting down the trees 🌳 there will be no oxygen left if we keep going at this rate n burning the bush yeah it regenerates but the carbon it emits is huge n it takes years to balance out again but by then they are back to burning the bush again im in Australia 🇦🇺

Hey Dave… why don’t… They just let us honestly explore the depths of Antartica without the UN treaty guarding it??? 🤔 then maybe we can come to a “scientific” conclusion before all of your posturing 😂 nice chords, lame as f*ck message sellout.

Dave’s in the club too. Why wouldnt he be. Tell the US military to stop being themselves we’d save alot of money and erase the pollution they create.

Are u insane? Of course the moon and stars would freakin notice. Man cannot be that ______ consciousness is not only limited to man kind but all living things. For example would you think our beloved planet to I rather to her as my Mother Earth and the beautiful miraculous creations she produces everyday Mother Nature always astonishes me every day. All celestials have consciousness and are aware of how blind we are to how we are treating the planet
