    I think this tour and album will influence many fans to think about how their carbon footprint impacts the planet. I used the carbon footprint calculator I found in one of these threads and learned that even though I am vegan; since i drive 50,000 miles per year for my job; I still need to plant 236 trees per year to offset my carbon footprint. THAT was a real eye- opener.

    In all seriousness what percent of the concert crowd goes in with one thought on climate change, carbon footprint, global warming or whatever other theory is floating around and leaves with a different mindset on it?

    people who are already of the mindset can also be more inspired/motivated to do things. Not everything they do is about converting belIefs

    Still can’t get my head around Gigaton as an album name and I‘ve been saying that name a lot to myself since yesterday 😄 just doesn’t sound like an album name at all 🤷🏼‍♀️
    Gigaton kinds of sounds like the name of an Autobot or Decepticon.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    I don’t like it either but oh well. It’s about how the songs are, not what the album title is.

    Is there any thought that tomorrow there might be several more cities with different billboards?  Message says starting today look for Pearl Jam in cities around the world.  Almost sounds like there might be more than 1 day of this.  Also, that is just 1 photo of something they are concerned with, but by an artist, so possibly not an album cover?
    I have been thinking this is going to be a week long hunt  and ending with an album announcement 
    I also think there’s more. I don’t know what, maybe something different, but the email said “Starting today.” To me, that means this is just the beginning of something.

    What’s the name of the artist & photo for the glacier photo?  I know I’ve seen it discussed but can’t find it now.  Thanks.

    This has been a blast/hilarious to read all the theories. My firm belief: This is an album announcement. The name of the album is Gigaton. That is the cover of the album. 11 cities marked, 11th album. Worth the wait PJ, thank you! I am VERY aroused.

    I really hope Gigaton is a song so I can hear Ed sing that on tour. 
    What rhymes with Gigaton?

    So anything in where these billboards have been placed? They all seem to be very close to a coastline or body of water (except maybe one of them in Europe 🤷🏻‍♂️) 🤔

    Ive been thinking  for a while about all this carbon footprint. 
    How many fans from lets say Budapest are going to that show.
    Most are from over seas.  Lots usa.
    Ticket price are way above the means of locals and true of poland too. 
    Shows in areas such as major usa cities or london would have many more locals and less long distance travelling. 
    I was just thinking the footprint of the fans is huge in gigs in some of these  countries which may not have a massive volume of local fans.

    Made it to the Sydney Billboard today and I am surprised no one else tried this, I must say the new album tastes great!

    My daughter also decided to wash her hair in the cleansing goodness of Pearl Jam

    Very cool! I was there at around 3.30 this afternoon. Some cyclists passed me and yelled out “Yeah! Pearl Jam!” which was fun

    Have they all been found now? I haven’t gone through the multiple threads for photos yet

    I was there around midday today, was another family of fans there doing the same thing. All the posters around the world have been found!

    UPDATE for Toronto!! Might be nothing but the GPS coordinates have changed slightly (other cities the same currently). Same area just around the corner. Might be the wall on the side of Barocco X Nino at 974 College Street. Worth checking out if anyone is close by. Let me know if you find anything different :)
