In honor of Earth Day we also want to share fun tips on how to be more energy efficient on Earth Day and beyond. Visit www.leftonred.com and click on the Green Page. Also included below are links to some of our favorite eco-web sites for your interest.

- There are 2 opportunities to see Left On Red this weekend! One is a fundraiser for a great organization called Earth Celebrations and the other is a private benefit house concert. If you are interested in going to either, email us at leftonredmusic@gmail.com because tickets to the Friday show are a bit pricy and tickets to the Saturday show are limited. We may be able to swing a discount for a limited number of guests and would love to see you there!

- On an unrelated, but highly entertaining note, here's a fun video of us playing "The Devil Went down to Georgia" at The Triad opening for Justin Utely

Thanks for rockin' the Left On Red road with us:)

Sending Green-love your way!

No Gas in Nashville

They are fresh out of gas in Nashville.

Lines stretch out 30 cars long.
Is this our future?

EWB

We rocked out at a benefit concert last night for Engineers Without Borders (EWB). It was awesome to meet these generous new friends who give their expertise and time to help our brothers and sisters of the world's developing nations. This particular event was a fund-raiser to support a trip to Kenya. The folks of EWB are designing and building a new water system for a maternity ward for the people of a small village there called Matunda.

Saving the planet, one salad at time

Today Kelleanor and I figured out a new way for us to conserve resources while eating lunch at Doppio, the greatest Ma and Pop Soup and Salad Shop in the Financial District. We were enjoying one of their delicious, homemade vegetarian soups and a salad when the conversation turned to the ecological footprint. “Ecological footprint (EF) analysis is a measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems and natural resources. It compares human consumption of natural resources with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate them.” Wikepedia.

The United States has the largest ecological footprint in the world and we can’t just blame this on the corporations and industry because we can all do little things each day to help our planet. Today, instead of throwing out the clear plastic containers that our yummy salads came in, we took them home and washed them. Next time we head to Doppio to get our green fix we will be helping the planet stay greener as well by bringing our own salad containers..henceforth "saving the planet one salad at a time".
