Boys have announced additional full-scale shows and Gala Event
Exclusive Instrumental Shows in a number of cities (See full itinerary
below).
 
In other news, in an effort to lessen the tour’s impact on the
environment, Beastie Boys will make a $1.00 charitable donation from
every ticket to an EcoFund through the non-profit organization ARIA
(Artists Resources in Action) which supports Reverb, the outreach
program to educate and engage musicians and their fans to promote
environmental sustainability and fund local nonprofit organizations in
the cities the tour visits. This will include offsetting CO2 emissions
from band, crew and gear travel as well as the powering of the
concerts; coordinating BioDiesel to be used in touring vehicles;
arranging for voter registration at all shows; coordinating local and
national non-profit organizations to conduct environmental and social
justice education and outreach at shows; and the funding of non-profit
organizations working to achieve environmental sustainability.

Beastie Boys encourage fans-as well as media attending the on-site
media roundtable/press conferences currently being scheduled in select
markets–to bring old mobile phones, PDAs and related accessories to
the shows, where they can be collected at on-site recycling booths. For
