Live Earth T.O. - Eva Avila In The Buildin’
July 7th, 2007
[How bout a guest entry from Eva Avila!]
Whatup peopuuulll!!!!
Well, I’m just over here at the MuchMusic building right now for an interview, as part of this huge and powerful event known as Live Earth.. 
I think this is such an amazing idea, a wonderful way to get people’s attention in regards to saving our planet. Music being a universal language, it gets all kinds of people together to support a great cause. I think its impact speaks for itself, no doubt.
I mean, everyone in the world has thought about making a change, weather it’s joining a cause and making pledges, or just simply applying a couple of day-to-day things that can make a huge difference in the long-term. But the sad thing is, it’s not enough. Not yet anyway… We’re at the point where it’s urgent, it’s time to clean the world up FOR REAL, not just talk about it. We’ve already waited much too long to start taking the earth’s deterioration seriously. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
So other than that, I’ve been keeping pretty busy with summer shows, spending some time at home in Gatineau with my family and buddies. I’m going to start co-writing real soon, with a bunch of talented peeps for the next album. Apart from that, life is good! Trying to enjoy the summer as best as I can!!
You guys take care of yourself… and of our world! Please, always keep in mind that this is our HOME! It’s what we live in, it’s what our children and grand-children and grand-grand-children will grow up in… let’s make it nice and cozy and clean and sane for them shall we? 
Luv
Mwah!

Local, city, county, state and the federal governments should be first to “go green.” Politicians should not be elected to public office unless they agree to convert every government building and vehicle to renewable energy. There are at least three reasons why this should be so.
When all levels of government are taken into account, they control 40% of the economy. With that kind of economic incentive anyone who wants to sell to the government will hasten to meet the demands of its largest single buyer. Government will no longer have to pass laws to enforce cafe standards for instance. Rather the Government will simply tell auto companies, we want to replace our fleet of vehicles but will not buy anything that does get at least 50 mpg if it is gasoline based, or it must be a hybrid, or it must be fueled with renewable fuels.
Another reason Government should go green first is national security. Part of every oil dollar paid for Middle Eastern oil goes directly into the pocket of terrorists. If we convert to renewable fuels that we control, we defund terrorism and protect ourselves simultaneously.
Yet another reason to heed Al Gore’s clarion call on global warming is economic security. OPEC can not ruin our economy if we convert to renewable fuels that we control.
And finally, suppose Gore is right? When anyone hypes anything as much as AL Gore hypes global warming, I have my doubts. But I can’t see what is harmed by going green so why not? The military is doing some research on alternative and renewable energy. Whoever is the next president of the United States should institute a �Go Green or Go Home� policy for the military. Those who come up with energy saving devices or methods as well as those who implement alternative or renewable fuels should rise quickly through the ranks. Those who don’t should be encouraged to seek employment elsewhere. As resourceful as marines are, for instance, I would bet they could make surprising advances in fueling everything from jeeps to an entire base through alternative means if left to their own devices. The military has through its contractors developed the most effective weapons in the world. If this same level of effort is turned toward greening the military we will be a safer, more secure, and more independent nation. We will create new jobs and industries and the air and water will get cleaner as a benefit.

I think you made a great point Eva! I think we can all say we have THOUGHT about global warming and all the other issues going on in the world, but we cannot ALL say we have actually DONE anything to help out, and I think it’s time we do. Don’t just say it, DO IT!
