Green Rocks At Red Rocks

The night we arrived in Dillon, Colorado was the same night that there was a concert at Red Rocks. John and Nathan from Team Believe actually told us about the concert, and Deb got us tickets. We had to go. Deb drove us down from the mountains to Morrison. We parked the car and walked up. This is the view walking up to the venue.


When we walked into the amphitheatre The John Butler Trio was playing. I was captivated by the rock, and the crowd, and the music. I pulled out my camera and took this photo.



The view from the top of the venue.


It was dark and city lights of Denver were shining when Michael Franti & Spearhead took the stage. The band came out swinging and fireworks exploded in the sky.


The band played on. We moved down closer to the action. The VIP passes helped.


Deb received a free ticket to the concert because she volunteered at the Eco-Cycle booth. Eco-Cycle was just one of the many green groups that were present at the first ever Green Rocks at Red Rocks. Deb got the free ticket, but all three of us got VIP passes thanks to Deb's friends at Eco-Cycle.

The Green Rocks show got Janice and I thinking. What can we do? We shop for groceries almost everyday. That's 2-3 plastic bags that we consume everyday. Not anymore. Here in Dillon we bought reusable grocery bags. The bag I bought was made by a company called ChicoBag.

Here's what it says on my bag's tag: "ChicoBags can save the average American 300 to 700 plastic shopping bags per year, which will save 3 to 7 gallons of crude oil. A population of 100,000 people can save up to 14,000 barrels of oil per year using reusable bags."

The bag Janice bought was made by 1 Bag At A Time. And they also have some pretty interesting facts up on their website.
