It will be the biggest music tribute and will sum up all the ecological initiatives by the group.
These events show that an advocacy movement could be fun despite its serious aim,” said Lou.

She added that the creation of Earth Day Jam Foundation is a payback of sorts to the environment that has been abused by some people.
