Mission
Rock ‘n Renew is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps students, businesses, activists, artists, and musicians live in sustainable ways. Recognizing the connection between the health of culture and the health of the planet, we use art, music and science to generate excitement about green solutions as we custom-design eco-blueprints for schools, businesses, and communities. Through rock shows, festivals, lectures, installations and other programs, Rock ‘n Renew has brought the message of sustainability to over 100,000 people since its inception in 2006, with events in New York, London, Stockholm, Madrid, Belgium, Barcelona, LA, Atlanta, and other cities. By the end of 2007, Rock ‘n Renew will have interacted with over half a million people around the world.
What People Have Been Saying About Rock N' Renew"If the people who are making the most money from fossil-fuel-involved products were able to make a transition, and lead the way into alternative fuel, this would be the greatest message any company could make about the future of our planet. I think it's great that you are doing this.“ -Debbie Harry (Blondie)
"Anything you can do to help the environment is a must; the littlest things count" -Jody Porter (Fountains Of Wayne)
"We can't just take this energy and throw it away after we're done with it, we can’t just live for the now, we need to be aware of the impact we are having on our future." -Art Alexakis (Everclear)
"It doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, a Republican, or a liberal or a conservative, it's not a political issue at all, it’s a human issue" -Kal Penn (Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Van Wilder)
"If I had been better educated on environmental issues, if we all were better educated, I don't think we'd be in the horrible state that we're in" -Chantal (Morningwood)
"I really appreciate the fact that an artist has more to do than just write songs and try to find an audience, he’s also willing to come up with an idea that could change the world and bring it to an audience, and I think that’s awesome” -Allen Kovac (President & Founder of 10th Street Entertainment/Eleven Seven Music)
Rock 'n Renew Foundation Ecology and Community CenterThe Rock ‘n Renew Foundation is building a community Ecology Center in Bayonne, N.J. We are utilizing the entire planning and building of the Ecology Center as a perfect (or as close to perfect as we can get) example of a sustainable building, and public learning garden. We are working with inner city students from several NYC and N.j schools to provide job training and mentoring that connects to each area of the project. Ultimately, this project will serve as a gateway for these students to get apprenticeships that lead into union jobs and long-term careers in engineering, construction, small business management, and other sustainable professions. As we are creating the plans, we are pairing students with architects to see this process. As we pour the foundation, students will take part in the construction, and learn about new sustainable careers each step of the way.
Another key function of The Rock ‘n Renew Ecology Center will be to showcase the importance of native plants, and ecological restoration. The Rock ‘n Renew Ecology Center will be a facility that uses only renewable energy, and through it's functioning in the community, this will provide access to a working model of a sustainable building. The ecological design of the garden will work to regenerate and restore the natural community as well.
