Billboard picks 10 greenest musicians

Back in January, Ellen gave you her picks for the top 5 greenest musicians. Now -- following Green Daily's lead as usual -- Billboard has released its nominations for the top 10 greenest musicians/bands. Do they match up? Well, yes and no -- billboard's standards are obviously lower. Who topped the list? None other than the king of eco-friendly beach rock himself -- Jack Johnson. Here's the full list:

  1. Jack Johnson
  2. Willie Nelson
  3. Maná
  4. Dave Matthews Band
  5. KT Tunstall
  6. Pearl Jam
  7. Serj Tankian
  8. Radiohead
  9. Missy Higgins
  10. The Roots


Somehow they left out REM, Sarah Mclachlan and the Indigo Girls, but they did pick some bands that are both taking action to reduce their eco-footprint and inspiring their fans to do the same. From running their touring vehicles on biodiesel to offsetting the CO2 from their concerts to even recording their albums with 100% renewable energy, some of these artists have actually been pretty busy trying to shrink their carbon footprint. According to Billboard:
"The Top 10 green musician activists from the past year were chosen by overall positive impact on the environment; the extent to which the artist integrates a green approach into all aspects of his/her career; perceived sacrifice of choices; and trailblazing nature/originality of ideas."
