Planet Defender - Nominations Needed

On Earth Day, Rock the Earth will announce the winners of our annual Planet Defender Award. In our January newsletter, we put out a call for nominees and received some great submittals. There's still time to nominate your 2007 Planet Defender! Rock the Earth will be accepting nominations from its friends and members between now and March 2nd. Help us identify those people who have advanced the cause of environmental protection. Nominees should demonstrate a strong commitment to defending the planet within the realm in which they work. Take a look at our categories listed below, and send us nominations from the music world, your local community, or prominent leaders who have made a broad impact in environmental protection.

From the list of nominees, Rock the Earth's Volunteer Staff will vote on the three winners. Please send your nominations to info@rocktheearth.org. With your nomination, please include your reason for nominating the individual or group. Rock the Earth will include some of your comments when we present our awards in each category.

You may nominate individuals in the following three categories:

• Artist - an individual or group
• Grassroots Activist - a community activist or grassroots organization
• Community Leader - a leader in government, business or other high-profile position

Rock the Earth's 2006 Planet Defenders continue to be in the news. Jack Johnson's environmental advocacy grows with the popularity of his music. Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson was recently profiled in Grist Magazine.

If these Planet Defenders inspire you, we ask that you help us find our 2007 Defenders. Send your nominations to us by March 2nd!
