Apart from showcasing her new album with her brother and long-time collaborator Finneas O'Connell, Eilish's tour also amplifies sustainability and the environment. Last year, she helped launch and fund the Music Decarbonization Project with the nonprofit REVERB through her headlining Lollapalooza set featuring a 100% solar-powered festival stage. The goal of the project is to advance "climate solutions to directly eliminate carbon emissions created by the music industry."
For her "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour, Eilish is once again partnering with REVERB. Sustainability efforts on the tour will including reducing greenhouse gas pollution. The tour is encouraging fans to take public transportation or carpool and they'll receive an email with public transportation options before the show. The tour is also aiming to reduce single-use plastic waste and pushing their venue partners to do the same. Concession offerings will also be updated to include plant-based food options at all shows. 'Eco-villages' will be set up in the main concourse of every show for fans to learn about sustainability efforts and connect with nonprofits helping take action for the environment.
A portion of North America ticket sales will also go to REVERB.
