As a modern dancer and huge Bjork fan, Emily Richards is honored to have her song and voice included in this incredible song and video production by Maxime Dallaserra -- an amazing talent from France! Enjoy :)
Happy New Year 2013! Yesterday we watched the documentary ReGENERATION (trailer below). The film inspired me to take change to the next level. What do you think we should do to make the world better? Here's our list so far for 2013:
Solar panels (you can lease your roof and rent them!)
Compost bins (compost bin vouchers are available)
Rain barrels (vouchers available, not legal everywhere))
Gray water recylcing (legal in CA if 12 checkpoints are met)
LOTS of organic gardening
Walk or bicycle everywhere local
Shop locally and at farmers markets (reusable cloth bags only!)
No plastic straws, cutlerly, bottles, bags or one-use disposable packaging
Cook from scratch and eat from our garden
One night a week without power (candlelight and raw food)
Pick up trash on neighborhood walks one day a week
Use biodegradable garbage bags, doggie bags, disposables, cleaning products
Low use drip lines for vegetable gardens and fruit trees (no grass, xeriscaping)
Share our homegrown veggies, herbs, fruit and nuts with community!
I'd love to hear about your ideas and I'll keep you posted on how our changes in action improve our mental and physical health! May 2013 fulfil the promise of a new era of hope and enlightment! Peace.
Emily released the remastered Christmas Angel two years ago. Including a delightful version of I Saw Three Ships, a beautiful rendition of Silent Night and a touching original Christmas Angel, this holiday album highlights some of the simple joys and emotions of the season.
Many of you know I am overtly passionate about Healing the North Pacific Gyre -- the north pacific garbage patch filled with plastic, killing species and changing our ecosystem dramatically. 2.4 million pieces of plastic enter our oceans every MINUTE. How can you help? Start by taking the no plastic pledge!
Thanks to Jayson Haws for great production work on Apologize -- a song about the North Pacific Garbage Patch. I hope we can all greatly minimize our disposable plastic use and keep our beaches clean to start healing the gyre. Namaste.
I just received this lyric video from an awesome fan!!! If you make me a lyric vid of one of my tracks, send it to me and I'll share on my blog! Thanks and peace.
