The Green Train Project is a 10-week, 28-state concert series that promotes environmental awareness with the help of what is being billed as an A-list group of musicians, athletes, artists, writers, personalities, and media professionals. The organizers of the whistle-stop tour, inspired by the political campaigns of previous presidents,  intend to teach and inspire people to use simple, everyday strategies to help reduce our carbon footprint. Led by a biodiesel, solar-powered train, this concert series starts April 2010 in Portland, Oregon and will end, appropriately, in our nation’s capital.

According to The Green Train website, The tour will be made up of two kinds of concerts, major cities and smaller towns and will include “top named celebrities along with environmental speakers and video satellite feeds in between the music, educating us all on how to live GREEN”. The Green Train will include two flat bed acoustical stages totally run on GREEN energy.

Concert information such as lineups, venues and start times are not yet posted, so keep an eye on The Green Train website for more info…
