AJR's Adam Met previews our documentary "Change Amplified: Live Music & The Climate Crisis" on CNN

The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper returns with a look at some of the biggest stars working to revolutionize the eco footprint of live music. “Change Amplified: Live Music and the Climate Crisis” with CNN Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir premiered Sunday, July 20 on CNN and will stream on HBO Max on August 19. Featuring Billie Eilish and her mother Maggie Baird, Bonnie Raitt, Jack Johnson, AJR’s Adam Met and Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, Weir traces the legacy of stars who are working to reform a live music industry that demands massive amounts of energy and produces tons of waste. From refillable water stations, plastic-free shows and even kinetic dance floors that turn the crowd’s energy into electricity, eco-conscious musicians are leading a movement to make caring about the climate cool. Their influence is catching on, with Lollapalooza now operating its main stage with a battery-powered hybrid system that gets cleaner every year, and Coachella implementing their first zero carbon stage. I had the honor of working with Team Weir, traveling across the country from New York to Hawaii, to produce this hour-long special and it was an absolute career highlight for me.
