Music Industry NewsStudy reveals carbon footptint of UK music industryEach year the UK music industry is responsible for around 540,000 tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions, according to researchers from the UK and US. Three-quarters of this is due to live music performances, while the rest is caused by music recording and publishing."This is the first study to map the greenhouse-gas emission profile of the music industry," Catherine Bottrill of the University of Surrey told environmentalresearchweb. "Furthermore, there are few publicly available studies of service industries and we can't think of one directly comparable." The study was commissioned from the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute by Julie's Bicycle, a non-profit organisation launched by UK music industry heavyweights on the eve of Live Earth in 2007."In a highly competitive industry such as popular music, this type of co-ordinated approach is unusual, but provides the opportunity to build consensus and develop rapid strategies for a lower-carbon future for this sector," write Bottrill and colleagues Max Boykoff from the University of Colorado Boulder, US, and Diana Liverman of the University of Arizona, US, and Oxford University, UK, in a paper in Environmental Research Letters (ERL).
