(PR) Korn announced today that they will be joining the effort to tour green by fueling all their vehicles with bio-diesel. This effort will lessen their environmental impact on this year�s Family Values Tour by using domestically produced bio-fuels in all 16 of their touring vehicles. The band is working with Music Matters� SMART (Sustainable Minded Artists Recording Touring) program and Conserv Fuel to fuel their vehicles with domestically produced bio-fuel which can be derived from a variety of plant based matter including; soy, corn, and various other vegetable and animal oils. Korn is using bio-diesel for their biofuel needs which will reduce the CO2 emissions that tour produces by almost 50 tons. �We can�t save the planet overnight but this is our way of saying everyone has to start somewhere. As a touring band it�s our responsibility to start making a difference. We encourage all other bands touring this summer to do the same�, said Jonathan Davis.

In an effort to get the word out about alternative fuels, Korn will be launching their own brand of bio-fuel. The soon to be officially revealed recipe will be called Korntastic and more information will be available at www.korntastic.com.

In another Korn first, [troops] on leave will be invited as Korn�s guests to the Family Values Tour all over the country. In a partnership with the USO World Headquarters, tickets will be given free of charge to [troops] on leave in each local stop of this year�s Family Values Tour. Distribution will be handled by the USO World Headquarters in conjunction with local bases.
