Brainstorming with Sting

Sting.com news.news
"Let's be honest, our carbon footprint is massive. But then every industry's carbon footprint is massive. Maybe this is the last era of big tours, unless we innovate. I read a wonderful article about container ships having massive sails attached to them. It's like a Jules Verne fantasy but it would cut the cost of shipping.

"There are equally fantastic solutions to touring. Can you imagine zeppelins going around the world with tours underneath them, with a stage, the band, all the equipment and lights, and just lowering themselves into a car park somewhere? And then off they float. Crazy and fantastic, but who knows? We certainly can't rely on cheap oil any more."
