A personal wake-up call
By DAVID MARK | 7/13/09 4:40 AM EDT

Al Gore's seven-continent Live Earth concerts two years ago featured a galaxy of celebrities aiming to raise awareness of climate change issues. In the sea of high-profile faces ranging from Jon Bon Jovi to Leonardo DiCaprio, singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge stood out as she introduced the former vice president before a six-figure crowd at Giants Stadium.

Etheridge's appearance that day, including a performance of her hit "I Need to Wake Up" - from Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth" - was emblematic of her increasing involvement in environmental activism. POLITICO Senior Editor David Mark recently spoke with Etheridge about her ongoing work on environmental causes.

Q: You grew up in Kansas. Was there something in your home area that made you environmentally conscious?

A: I grew up in the Midwest. My mother's family was from southern Arkansas, so I spent my summers on the bayou. I rarely watched television, spending my summers out playing with the fish and the mud and connected to the earth.

In the 1980s, I was in Southern California. The New Age movement was really happening then. That's when I became aware of recycling and vegetarianism and all the different philosophies that were going around.

When I got my breast cancer diagnosis [in 2004] and realized that my body was out of balance, I started to look at what it needed to be in balance: good food, whole food. I started looking at the environment around me - and I realized we need similar ingredients to make our earth bodies run. We have neglected what it takes to make the earth run. When I got involved in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," I really began to educate myself.

I realized I couldn't keep walking down the path of, "I can put anything I want into my stomach, and I'm going to live forever." That's not going to work, nor will it for the Earth.

Q: What forms of alternative energy would you recommend?

A: Getting off fossil fuels is the most important thing. I've discovered Vert - they develop biodiesel cars. That's what I run my cars off of. The only difference is the fuel filters need to be changed more.

In the future, we’re going to use a combination of wind, sun and geothermal energy.

Q: Do you think this recession will force people to be more environmentally conscious? Will they drive less and adapt to green technologies?

A: Any sort of change that makes people change their lives is positive. Maybe people are slowing down this produce-and-consume lifestyle.

Q: Describe your involvement with Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and other climate change efforts.

A: I was honored to be part of that project. It's ongoing. I enjoyed that it didn't just come out one year and go away. The ongoing effort is moving us along.

Niagara Night #1 Postponed

As posted by dogrescuergirl(Kat):

Thanks guys, it was definitely a scramble and I won't lie, we did have about an hour there that we were pretty bummed but we decided to live the code of Melissa and turn our focus to the positive...getting things rearranged so that we could all find ways to catch both shows.

Everyone is pretty much rescheduled now and we have now moved on to celebrating Kel's birthday in a huge rockin' party going on in Eagle's suite.

Rock on Melissa, you are only human, thank you for everything you do for us, we can't wait to see you tomorrow night.

Luv all of us from around the world...
Kat, Kel, Angie, Dawn, Frank, Rhondda, Giant, Mare, Eagle, Cheryl, Bitey, Tigger, Genevieve, Natalia, BeBop, Coll

PS Be strong, speak true, spread the peace...after all, we made vodka out of lemonade
