As musical artists, we've always wanted to spread positivity, create environmental awareness, and visualize harmony in the world. To us Earthday is more than just doing something for the environment or simply celebrating the earth and all of her beauty's. In our eyes we are all connected and part of one universal mind in one sea of energy. Nothing is external and we have the power to reshape this world in our thoughts, visions, prayers, dreams and desires.
Today, in this blog, we wanted to show some love and send thanks to everyone we have worked with environmentally. Sooooo ..... here we go!
To Holly Beck: Thank you for being an inspiration to us. We've enjoyed following your adventures and admire your constant battles to make this world a better place. For those who don't know Holly, she is a Pro Surfer and world traveler who first came to us on Myspace asking if she could use our music in her surf videos. We were honored to say the least and have stayed in contact ever since. Below is a great video she made using our "GO GREEN" song. Enjoy!
We would also like to thank Zero Hero - an amazing company that specializes in creating sustainable events through zero waste, renewable energy and education. We partnered with them and our "Go Green" song to help educate bands on what they can do to support the environment while on tour. You can check out the "Fresh Greens for Fresh Artists" Program here --> http://www.zeroheroevents.com/scholarship/
The above photo is one of my favorites. A big shout and thanks to Ethan and Michael from ACE - Alliance for Climate Education. In 2010 we embarked on an amazing Bio Bus tour through California with these guys performing on top of this amazing bio bus powered by vegetable oil and solar power. There really isn't enough space on this blog to talk about all positives that this company does for the environment. You can check out everything about ACE here http://www.acespace.org/.
Also, here's a great video on a little of what they are about and what we did together. So awesome-- BLAM!
OK moving on. We'd also like to thank the Surfrider Foundation, especially the Sandiego Chapter for at that you do. I love the ocean and the beach as I am sure everyone does and nobody does more in the world to keep our oceans and beaches clean that Surfrider. Add them on facebook here -- Surfrider Foundation
We helped them out in San Diego with a beach clean up, which was awesome. We also helped out with their "Ban the Bag" program to help stop plastic bag pollution in the ocean. You can check the Youtube vid we did for them here --->
Lastly, we'd like to thank everyone over at GREENSTOCK here in Phoenix. We recently performed the main stage and had a great time and great show! Amazing event that they put on every year in Phoenix. Check it out here -- > GREENSTOCK
Keep in touch and keep an eye out for that new album "Kill it with Love" coming very soon. Till then I'll leave with a few quotes from the Dailai Lama below.
As people alive today, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it. ~Dalai Lama
Peace and the survival of life on earth as we know it are threatened by human activities that lack a commitment to humanitarian values. Destruction of nature and natural resources results from ignorance, greed and lack of respect for the earth´s living things. ~Dalai Lama
Just as we should cultivate gentle and peaceful relations with our fellow human beings, we should also extend that same kind of attitude towards the natural environment. Morally speaking, we should be concerned for our whole environment. ~Dalai Lama
