Talented singer/songwriter Tristan Prettyman is doing anything she can to help the environment. At home she drives a hybrid, uses compost in her backyard, and recycles whenever she can. She donated one of her songs titled “War Outta Peace to BEF (Bonneville Environmental Foundation), which produced a DVD in order to increase awareness about the advantages of using renewable energy.
In turn for donating one of her songs to BEF, she received 30 green tags—tantamount to one mega-watt of solar energy. These green tags also counteracted the CO2 production created during the recording of her album. This carbon offset is the equivalent of taking 4 cars off the roads for an ENTIRE YEAR! Prettyman is also devoted her time to beach clean ups near her tour stops.
Prettyman attributes her appreciation for the environment to her childhood in San Diego. “Having grown up in San Diego, I spent most of my time at the beach and can’t imagine what life would be like without the surf and the sand.”
