Dance music is made to be enjoyed as a group. From weekend long music festivals to hitting up the club to catch your favorite DJ's set, fans of the genre love to come out and support their artists. Between all these different shows, what if we told you there was a way to do good and save the rainforest along the way?
Thanks to Dance For 1 Meter, now you can. By attending an event partnered with the organization, you can help save the rainforest and stop deforestation. Every ticket goes towards preserving 1 square meter of jungle and as soon as they complete their purchase, customers will receive exact coordinates of the area they're saving. If you were going to see someone perform anyway, why not make a difference and have it become more meaningful?
Hï Ibiza, which has worked with EDM sensations Martin Garrix and Armin van Buuren, are one of the event partners leading the way to ensure more and more of nature's finest is protected. To get a deeper look into the project and how the world's future is actually so much brighter because of it, I spoke with founder, Ricardo Porteus, who went into detail about how he and his partner, Tom Murray, make it all happen.
