How many other artists out there can you say they have attempted to highlight these environmental issues and raise awareness to victims of disaster (tsunami, hurricanes and now the fires in California) or to put themselves out there to say it may not be the popular choice right now but "we'll make a difference". We as a civilization are finally coming to grips with what we have done to ourselves and the environment. We are in the process of wasting away our natural resources, and turning a blind eye to the pain, suffering, and loss of those around us. Yet getting up every morning and looking ourselves in the mirror as if there's nothing we can do about it. The next time you look in the mirror ask yourself, "what have you done"? (no pun intended). I'm not saying Mike Shinoda should be out sorting the recycling after a show either; artists in the spotlight have such a unique opportunity. They can use the stage they have built from their talent if they choose not just to further their own careers but to make a difference, kudos to them, if for nothing else but to make you think. Which judging from your response to the tour, it did. You may not agree with how certain portions ended, but are you saying it didn't work let's just disregard the idea/concept. Your right it's not enough there's really no way we could go back in time and erase all that we've done. What we can do is use the outlets we are given to promote a positive change.

It was our annual 47th District Republican picnic. Why was it Earth Friendly? 1. Acoustic bluegrass music. That's right, Bono -- how about turning off the amps and using strings and other instruments without pumping the watts. 2. We all made dishes. I made a pasta salad and put it in my big black stove pot, and then afterwards I took it back home and cleaned it. That was after I took the leftover pasta and mixed it up with a tomato sauce I made from scratch. 3. We held it in an outdoor park in the evening. No lights, just a rare sun on a Washington evening. 4. We talked to each other and used our ideas and discussions to entertain ourselves between speeches. 5. Ok, I did use a PA system at one point...to lead the group in the Pledge of Alligience...but it's short, and it still means something to some of us.
