DJ JOURNEY DOES THE AIDS WALK

PARTICPANTS AND SUPPORTERS:
Continue to feel the burn as DJ Journey heats things up at the after-party spinning his signature mash-ups and dance music!

Well known for passion and efforts to build a greener world, DJ Journey is branching out and putting a new spin on how he helps humanity. This Sunday musical philanthropist and self titled “DJ With A Cause” will demonstrate more than just his mixing/scratching skills as he participates in a 6 plus mile walk to help raise money for the AIDS foundation.

The event, which takes place this Sunday, October 19th will include about 30,000 people who will show their support for fighting AIDS by taking to the streets in West Hollywood for AIDS Walk Los Angeles. DJ Journey will be walking with celebrity personality B. Scott, who will lead “Team Love Muffins”. Since the mid 80’s this walk has raised almost $60 million for HIV programs and services throughout Los Angeles County and has made its mark as one of the largest AIDS fundraising events in the US. Last year the walk broke records by raising close to $ 4 million for AIDS Project Los Angeles and various other AIDS service organizations.

But the efforts don’t end at the finish line. After the race B. Scott will host the AIDS walk after party at Eleven Restaurant & Nightclub. Here a silent auction and raffle will be held to benefit the AIDS walk. Participants and friends will enjoy free food and mimosas in the VIP area as well as access to live performances by various artists including Steph Jones, Warrior Nation, and DJ Shy. And of course a party wouldn’t’ be a party without DJ Journey, who will take to the tables at this awesome event.
With his hip-hop, electro mash-ups and on point energy, this DJ is sure to keep the crowd on their feet…..even after a 6 mile walk!

See & You Should Believe

The DJ and I were just reading an article from CNN. It is an excerpt from "What Matters". This is the latest book by "Day in the Life" series creator David Elliot Cohen. If you click on the slide show you will see a number of visuals, both beautiful and sad at the same time. You can see what is left of once giant ice-caps and glaciers, which now look like they have been reduced to small snow patches across green land. There are also powerful shots of white smoke rising in the air, the result of rapid coal burning, being released into China and America's atmosphere.

But along with these images are those that can give everyone some hope. You can see wind turbines, doing there job, producing clean, efficient energy. There are pictures of eager people rallying to stand up to global warming and fight for our planet's future. But this is a rally like no other. In the article it is stated that our "greatest Climatologist", James Hansen, said we have eight more years to reverse the flow of carbon into our atmopshere, or it's too late. And what does too late mean? Well a 25 foot rise in sea level is one part of the answer. I'm sure most of you don't want to imagine what that will be like, so right now we all need to put our heads together and start seeing and imagining our planet and our lives in a new light. We have the technology to make this thought a reality, so let's all work together to make this happen.

You guys need to read this article,and watch these images. It really will inspire.

Peace

BUFFALO EXCHANGE=ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION TO GREAT STYLE AND WARDROBE!

Looking fresh and hot is important even to the most eco-friendly of people.

Journey attends countless red-carpet events and spins a various top venues across the country. This means TONS of photos, and one thing DJ Journey doesn't want is to be caught wearing the SAME THING over and over again! But buying a new outfit for every occassion isn't very green. SO WHAT'S A DJ TO DO?

Journey's solution is hit up great thift stores and vintage shops to get quality clothing and keep his eco-footprint low! Journey's favorite new york spot is Brooklyn's Buffalo Exchange where the DJ says he finds the best name brands for DOPE prices! And the DJ with a cause feels great about his purchase because the clothing he's buying has already been worn and is now passed down!! If you don't know about Buffalo Exchange you have to find out, so check it out here!

Vice Presidential Candidates and the Climate Question

If you don't understand what the cause of a problem or issue is, finding a solution is not possible. Paraphrased, these are the words of Senator Joe Biden as he responds to Sarah Palin's remarks that she doesn't want to argue what caused climate change and would rather focus on how to "positively affect the impacts".

DJ Journey and his Eco friendly crew were glad that Senator Biden made this statement because it was the exact same thing we were thinking when Governor Palin made similiar remarks in her earlier interview with Katie Couric! For many of us environmentally conscious people it probably makes sense to understand the roots of the problem (with the environment) in order to fix it!

According to Palin we must also consider "cyclical patterns" when talking about the earth's temperature changes. WHAT?! Most scientists agree now that the rising global temperature is a man made issue.

Biden goes on to point out that over the last decade and a half Senator McCain has voted 20 TIMES AGAINST FUNDING ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY! He says these include wind, solar and bio-fuels. Palin came back with statements of how we must learn to rely on domestic oil not foreign and said "with new technology and tiny footprints on land it is safe to drill and we need to do that". She even corrected Biden when he said McCains camps only answer is drill, drill, drill by saying "The chant is drill baby drill".

We think when it came to this topic Biden had the facts, statistics and information to hold his own...When it came to Palin...not so much.

But judge for yourself! Watch below!

WARNING: This is Sad!

Ok, so we do like the idea of keeping our "go green" positive and full of good energy, but we can't help but at least mention this whole Sarah Palin wolf ad video!

Right now there is a You Tube video out there showing very graphic footage of wolves shot and killed accompanied by a narrator who states "As Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin actively promotes the brutal and unethical aerial hunting of wolves and other wildlife". The ad is done byThe Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund and is said to be gaining visibility across the country. At firs the ad was only shown in certain markets including Florida, Michigan and Ohio, but now Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin will have the opportunity to see this cruel, yet incredibly important visual!

According to an article by the AP, Palin is in favor of the hunting of wolves in Alaska as a part of a state-sponsored-preditor-control program which seeks to increase the number of moose and caribou in certain areas of the states. People living in rural areas who hunted to survive argued that there wasn't enough game. Palin did not not enact this program, it began with the Governor before her, Frank Murkowski, but continues with Palin's full support. The article states since the program began five years ago that more than 700 wolves have been killed.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should. ( we have posted it below) Although sad, we believe it is important to know politicians stances on environmental and animal issues!

Peace, L
