synergy.

Imagine… thousands of musicians, artists, writers, dances, film makers and fans teaming up to create local messages and global media that inspires others to care for the planet.

Imagine… millions of beautiful, edgy, conscious environmental songs, art, videos and writings on the street and beyond to debunk the products and industries that are killing our earth.

Imagine… billions of people taking eco actions because of music, art, words and media that inspire them to manifest an ecological society that honors all the life that loves to live.

For all the life, Stele Ely

ps: We want to start the XOEarth VOX Guilds — Music, Art and Word — to help synergize their eco creativity. If you want too help us roll out these guilds, contact us.

nexus.

Using music, art, photography and media to talk about specific eco actions and the positive effects is now super crucial.

XOEarth VOX has a mission to encourage and reward creatives for illustrating the positive effects of specific environmental actions on one or more beings — human or non-human — in order to cheer on the people to take those eco actions.

For example, we need more artists that weave words into their paintings, photographs and other media that calls on its audience to live sustainably. An message about ecological lifestyles can be a beautiful part of an art — and at times can be more motivating that the same words on a white printed page.

Weaving an environmental organization’s name or website address into one’s art, music or media is another way to eco up our arts.

So let’s use our artistic talents to get down to the positive nitty gritty ecological cause and effect of an ecological action. Let’s create art that shows the positive effects of an eco action on in lives of some future child, the life of one’s own friends, a little family of animals, or a couple of lovers (human or not).

So, here are some superb eco organizations and ideas that need help in creating more eco media:
• XOEarth.org (our own)
• NRDC.org
• Sierra Club
• Wilderness Society
• Sea Shepherd
• World Wildlife Federation
• Union of Concerned Scientists
• Environmental Defense
• The Nature Conservancy
• Greenpeace
• Earth Island

an ecological arts revolution.

One of goals of XOEarth VOX is to help build a *ecological arts revolution* with fans, writers, organizations, and musicians worldwide that come together to create a storm of environmental art that will help save our Earth’s ecosystems.

“Artists have the power to replace the deadly corporate consumeristic mantras with loving, Earth conscious mantras. Therefore, every creative person is called on to weave at least two or three environmental creations into each performance, show or media piece.” Stele

An Ecological Arts Revolution [ear]
by Stele Ely at 140,000 Love Songs For Planet Earth

This is not to say that every creative should become known as an environmental activist. But it is to say, if the deadly corporate consumeristic mantras being repeated by the average citizen are ever to be replaced with pro-active, loving, Earth conscious mantras, then every creative who cares about the planet needs to have at least three or four works in their repertoire or portfolio that reflects their perspective.

Before technology and mass marketing came along, it was not critical that creatives with an environmental conscious take an environmental stand. It is very different now. Millions of corporation’s are pitching their singalongs that say: buy your way to happiness… material items will set you free… consume more, forget the planet… buy junk now, ignore the ecological results… ultra disposable items will set you free. All the while, consumers seldom hear music to singalong with that honors the Earth and its life.

One great eco song, ballad, CD or media project has the potential to save your life plus a few million other living things. Artists, Songwriters, Musicians, Writers and Fans have the power to manifest this *ecological arts revolution*.

future.

Future art, poetry, stories and songs are cause-and-effect journeys that describe a series of positive events that may happen as a result of an eco action that someone takes.

Whether the focus is on one or numerous simultaneous or sequential results of an eco action is up to the artist, writer or songwriter.

It is also called an XOEarth future because our *XOEarth Honors* project uses these scenarios to honor and reward people for their environmental choices. See XOEarth.org/honors/.

By the way, advertisers often propose ultra-absurd cause and effect tales that would never happen if a person buys a product. Yet these ads sell a lot of junk. Other great art, words, songs and movies have used this format. So let’s create realistic and possible eco scenarios that help trigger eco actions.

Once you have completed your cause and effect, domino effect and/or butterfly effect future story that will help save our biosphere, add a link to your work on our XOEarth Facebook page.

Eco creatives are invited to add their future media and songs anywhere on XOEarth.org.

• To see our list of favorite eco organizations that need creative and financial help – including XOEarth.org – check out our Eco Orgs pages.

Music, art, photography and media students are invited to create and post their designs, stories, environmental songs and video on XOEarth Facebook.

Plus, XOEarth Honors is our environmental awards project that students, teachers and others in environmental education can use to motivate ecological actions and choices.

card.

** We will make you an updated XOEarth VOX Pledge card if you want one, just give us a shout out.**

Print and sign the XOEarth VOX Pledge/ card here or write it out by hand if you prefer.

pledge card – front – click to print
or request updated card The pledge card has 2 print pages to choose from ::

#10 The XOEarth Pledge/ card print-page #10 has 10 cards per print page. >>

#8 The XOEarth Pledge/ card print-page #8 has 8 cards per page. (8 cards up works better on some printers) >>

To fit the most cards on a page, set the printing margins to the smallest values possible. Use “Page Setup” and/or “Print Preview” to adjust the margin values.

Before printing, adjust the margins by entering “0” for all margins. The browser and printer will then re-apply the smallest default value available.

In most cases, the XOEarth cards will be 3.5 inches wide when printed. If the cards are not this size when you print them, open the “Print Preview’ window and then adjust the scale/percentage to 100%.

If you are not printing in color, printing with black ink on colored paper is a good option. We give out cards printed with black ink on colored paper at schools and fairs — and they work great.

Printing the XOEarth cards on heavier paper is a nice — but optional.

Have fun flashing your XOEarth card to others to encourage them to join you in creating eco media, and to help empower a visible ecological society.

Feel free to print and give away a bunch of un-signed XOEarth pledge cards too. If you prefer to write out the pledge/ card that’s super fine.
