CGG caught up with Ben Jelen on his way to do a Free Green concert on Earth Day in NYC at a Replay store. Ben's a total cutie and stopped to answer a few questions:

CGG: Why earth day? Why is this your big issue?

Ben: It's a big issue because our planet is everything.

CGG: What kinds of things do you do?

Ben: I bike everywhere, recycle EVERYTHING at home and on tour. I also tour in a biodeisel bus. I wish I could compost more, but I live in Brooklyn and it's too difficult.

Green Oakland Fair is going to be the first annual fair emphasizing the importance of going green in Oakland County, Michigan. I have collaborated with my county's Conservation District to make this ground breaking event happen. Saturday April 19th is their Annual Spring Tree Sale Pick up date, which also happens to be the weekend before Earth Day. We decided to work together and take advantage of the near 500 Oakland County residents that will be picking up their trees and spread the green message.

This will ideally be an electricity-free party that promotes energy conservation amongst residents and sets an example for the campus. We will be offering food, drinks, live music (acoustic music), glow in the dark memorabilia, organic t-shirts, and eco-friendly transportation demos and test drives. We would like to hand out flyers/magnets with conservation tips and well as offer environmentally friendly organizations to do petitions.
