Interview: Mike Einziger Of Incubus
Check out the interview CauseCast did with Mikey!
Incubus is a band that not only gives back, but has even created their own non-profit organization, the Make Yourself Foundation. Through their foundation, the band donates proceeds from touring, merchandise and special events to causes they care about, especially focusing on environmental issues.
Causecast’s music manager, Brandon Deroche, spoke with guitar player Mike Einziger at this year’s Mile High Music Festival in Denver about social consciousness, Nazi rallies, hippie chicks on acid, and how music plays a role in all of it.
Causecast: Being a musician, you’ve traveled the world quite a bit. As you return to the same cities again and again, have you noticed changes in any of those places that stuck out to you?
Einziger: We’ve seen a lot of things change over the years. I remember one of the first times that we were ever in Europe. We were in Berlin and a lot of the sections of the city in East Berlin were still, even in that time which would’ve been the mid to late 90’s, were pretty war damaged. The buildings had been bombed out, there were still shells in the walls and things like that. Now, go back there and it’s a beautiful thriving city. It’s pretty incredible to see that happen just in the last ten years.

China and India endorse Copenhagen Climate Accord
China and India joined almost all other major greenhouse gas emitters Tuesday in signing up to the climate accord struck in Copenhagen, boosting a deal strongly favored by the United States. More than 100 nations have now endorsed the Copenhagen Accord, a non-binding agreement reached after two weeks of tortuous wrangling at a 194-nation summit in December. The accord plans $100 billion a year in climate aid for developing nations from 2020 and seeks to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6F) above pre-industrial times, but produced no timetable of emission limits to reach that goal.Amazon Droughts and Greening
The sensitivity of Amazon rain forests to dry season droughts is still poorly understood, with reports of enhanced tree mortality and forest fires on one hand, and excessive forest greening on the other. In a current story there is a report that previous conclusions of large scale greening of the Amazon as a result of drought are not reproducible. Approximately 11%-12% of these drought stricken forests display greening, while, 28%-20% show browning or no change, and for the rest, the data are not of sufficient quality to characterize any changes. These changes are also not unique; approximately similar changes are observed in non-drought years as well.© 2010 Created by makeyourselffoundation
