Fans of Dave Matthews Band will be overjoyed to hear that their favorite band have won an award that recognizes their efforts in caring for the environment. Rock the Earth, a non-profit organization that marries the love for music and environmental concern, has named DMB one of the winers for the 2008 Planet Defender Award. DMB was victorious in the Artist category and applauded for campaigning for environmental sustainability. Although they have toured close to 17 years on the road, they promoted proper environmental ethics through endeavors like using Biodiesel for their tour bus, buying up carbon credits and encouraging the use of biodegradable utensils whenever they tour.
