（2025届四川省乐山市高三下学期第三次调查研究考试英语试题（含听力））Once flying globally, University of Vermont music professor David Feurzeig is demonstrating how locals can fight climate change and promote community in his “Play Every Town Project”.
Feurzeig once prided himself on attending musical festivals around the world. “For academic musicians,” he notes on his website, “there are motivations to fly, fly, fly. The farther the performance, the more reputation and promotion.”
Then Feurzeig thought about how such carbon-intensive travel contributes to the climate crisis. “Touring needs to change rapidly,” he said, “if we are to maintain a livable world.” That's why the 58- year - old has given up flying globally and instead relies on his solar-powered electric vehicle and public transportation for his current project.
Feurzeig is aiming to perform a free concert in every one of Vermont's 252 cities and towns, all while promoting local and state environmental causes. Starting in May 2022 in the state's largest city of Burlington, the pianist has shared his idea at more than 50 performances. Feurzeig estimates that the project will last until the end of the decade to complete.
The pianist and his stage manager travel to events in most any weather. Consider the one in Warren, just after last July's historic statewide flooding. “On the recording of the concert, you can hear the stream racing by,” he said. “And I've played on the smokiest day in Vermont history, the wettest day in Vermont history, the hottest November day in Vermont history. All these things are becoming worse and more and more frequent.”
So far, the project has raised more than $17,000 in donations for local and state environmental groups. “I want to support local efforts that protect our environment and bring people together. Music can spark change, one town at a time.” he said. Feurzeig's concert journey blends artistic passion with climate action, proving local green concerts echo louder than distant music festivals.
