TreeHugger Radio: Sex, Pesticides, and Rock & Roll
by Team Treehugger, Worldwide on 06. 7.07

This week we speak to Wakarusa music festival director Bret Mosiman about how this mega-venue is taking the green initiative to the main stage. We also report on some chilling research that indicates children born in the spring have lower aptitudes. The reason? It could have everything to do with pesticides. Also, Nike is taking a run at being a carbon neutral business, and we get a taste of next week’s extended interview with Global Footprint director Mathis Wackernagel. This week’s soundtrack comes from the Allenko Brotherhood Ensemble thanks to Calabash Music. Subscribe to TreeHugger Radio on iTunes or listen/right click to download. ::TreeHugger Radio

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, you’ve seen the ads for the Live Earth concert series. This 24-hour, 7-continent series of 9 concerts sounds pretty cool and personally, I’m looking forward to seeing the Black Eyed Peas and John Mayer (luv him!).
I checked out the website (http://liveEarth.sympatico.msn.ca) and I actually found some neat stuff on it like the “Green Tip of the Day.” The site’s best feature is the live feeds from each of the cities hosting events so I can watch John Mayor live on my lap top. I can even go back and see any performance I want again via VOD. Rock on!
