I just voted for Rock the Earth, so they have a chance at a Patagonia grant that can help them do some important work. It took five seconds. You should take five seconds and vote for them, too.

From the Rock the Earth website:

If you haven't been voting for Rock the Earth, please help. We're currently in second place in Patagonia's $5,000 grant give away. With the forthcoming opening of the Boulder, Colorado store on April 5th, Patagonia has offered Rock the Earth the chance to win a $5,000 grant by gaining the most votes from the public. Please go to www.Patagonia.com/boulder and vote for Rock the Earth as your charity of choice. To put things in perspective, $5,000 means 500 hours of low-cost legal assistance to help preserve some of America’s natural spaces like Grand Canyon or Yellowstone National Park! So please help Rock the Earth today by voting at www.patagonia.com/boulder and please spread the word! Contest ends on March 29. Thank you!

Director Marc Ross proudly claims, "Rock the Earth champions environmental and public health issues, and all the artists on Music for the Planet and nugs. net wanted to help these worthy causes for Earth Day 2007. We work closely with the music industry and its fans, many of whom are concerned with the fate of our public lands, air and water. We act as advocates to ensure the existence of a sustainable and healthy environment for all. Further, we aim to represent those individuals and communities whose environment or natural surroundings are directly and adversely affected by the actions of others." Nugs. net founder Brad Serling adds, "We feel extremely fortunate to have the unwavering support of our artist clients for this fundraiser." This two CD benefit compilation album will be available for $10.95 as MP3 downloads and $15.95 as CD-quality FLAC downloads.
