2009 Rock the Earth Planet Defender Awards
This year's winner in the ARTIST category, Grammy-nominated
Incubus, funds the Make Yourself Foundation , which has raised over
One Million dollars to date. The band funds the foundation by
donating a portion of the proceeds generated from touring, record
royalties, online auctions of concert tickets and memorabilia, and
special events, to support various causes and charities both
locally and around the world. Fueling their tour buses with
clean-burning biodiesel, printing posters and flyers on 100-percent
post-consumer recycled paper with soy ink, serving organic food
backstage, offering fans organic cotton T-shirts and working with
venues to increase recycling are just a few of the other steps the
band has taken to ensure it stays green.

Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd said: "We are so fortunate to have
this amazing opportunity to share music with so many people! And we
are very proud to share Earth consciousness with those who come and
listen. Thank you very much! And may this be just another rung in
the ladder towards a brighter, more aware planet."
