Stars Raise Awareness of Climate Change

You may have seen Cate Blanchett talking about the Who On Earth Cares website on TV, but she’s not the only Australian celebrity supporting this fantastic climate change site.

Felix Riebl (The Cat Empire), Mark Seymour, Mia Dyson, Katie Noonan, and Jen Cloher have joined more than 13, 000 Australians who’ve signed on to raise awareness of this key environmental issue.

“I care about climate change because this world is an amazing, wonderful place, and I find it depressing to think that I was part of a species that wrecked so much of that beauty,” Felix says on his Who on Earth Cares profile.

“I am concerned about climate change because it will make the very world unliveable if we let climate change continue its course,” added Mia Dyson.

So don’t let it happen! Join these celebrities and sign up on the website. You’ll be inspired by the cool energy saving tips. The site will even help you compose a letter encouraging your local government member to develop more responsible climate change policies. But my favourite part is the interactive map, which lets you read what other environmentally conscious folks are doing in your neighbourhood. Check it out!

Mia Dyson Tours America This Week

With a sound reminiscent of Pat Benatar and Suzi Quatro, Mia Dyson is sure to make a splash when she arrives in America this week.

The 25-year-old Victorian displays maturity beyond her years, with a world-weary voice and amazing guitar skills.

Mia also counts Eric Clapton and Bonnie Raitt, amongst her famous fans, and was thrilled to support both on their recent Australian tours.

In her latest album, Struck Down, Mia sings about finding her place in the world, and losing it just as quickly.

Mia Dyson will kick off her American tour at New York’s FalconRidge Festival on July 28. Struck Down will be released in Australia on August 27.
