From a remote beach in an undisclosed location I am happy to share
this short film about the ocean and beach pollution.
A young filmmaker came up with an easy solution to how you can help. It's simple, Pick Up 3 and the difference you will see!
Last Sunday I had the pleasure of receiving the 2009 Missions in Music Award by the Environmental Media Association. Nervously I accepted the award from past Honoree Alanis Morissette and then played I'm Yours to the Hollywood crowd seated down two narrow city streets on the Paramount Lot. It’s an honor just to be acknowledged as an environmentally conscious person. In doing so, I’m created as so. Therefore, I get to be just that.
If there’s ANYTHING you wish to be, ask someone to acknowledge you as that, even if you’ve never done anything related to it yet. Just by hearing You as something new, you are introduced into a new context that you actually get to swim in.
Here’s a clip on the Green Carpet from The EMA Awards. I follow the dashing philanthropist, Sir Richard Branson.
I’m wearing one of my favorite tee’s from
BlendApparel.Com, flip-flops made of recycled bike tires and sustainable hemp, while touting a water bottle with the word “Gratitude” emblazoned on it, courtesy of
Spoken Glass.
With me on the green carpet is my constant friend, Tawney Bevacqua. A fun factoid about Tawney is how she appears in the original cut of the "Lucky" music video. Seen by only a handful of people, I had suggested to Colbie Caillat that the video end with us both dancing in the arms of another. I wanted to show that neither she nor I were singing to each other – instead, just being two grateful souls singing the same song of love. In the real end however, Colbie couldn’t get a guy in her shot as she filmed her scene in a spontaneous undercover operation, so seeing Tawney and I dancing made me look like a jerk, leaving Colbie unwanted, stranded on a desert isle.
