Campus consciousness

Drake, in conjunction with Reverb—a non-profit organization that promotes environmental-friendly techniques—has adopted and eco-friendly policy for "The Away From Home Tour." Dubbed the "Campus Consciousness Tour," Drake has "greened" his tour with the use of biodiesel fuel and biodegradable and recyclable products on the bus and backstage.

Drake will also showcase an "Eco-Village" with tents which will feature environmental and other socially-conscious groups educating on green technology, student carbon-offset programs and eco-friendly consumer sampling. This portion of the tour is being produced by Pretty Polly Productions in conjunction with Reverb.
