Hello,
In honor of the upcoming 2011 Earth Day (April 22nd) I’m addressing you
on a crucial issue, that is very close to my heart – the environment.
All my life, I’ve been watching mankind abuse and destroy our one big
home, be it out of indifference, or for money, or for the sake of
comfort – for whatever reason, mankind is ruining the most valuable
resource of them all, planet earth. We may be fooled to believe that
our day to day environmental crimes will make no difference on our
lives and that the permanent damage will take place only years from
now, that even our grandchildren’s grandchildren will still be ‘saved’.
But that’s simply a lie.
Aside from our mutual responsibility to keep this great gift together,
it is relevant to our lives nowadays more than ever. Global warming,
rain forests, the ozone layer – all these terms we’re so familiar with,
are so crucial to our lives, that if we won’t implement the necessary
actions right now - we’ll witness catastrophes in the upcoming years.
For many years I've been living my life with a great concern to the
subject. I raised my children on the values of saving the environment,
and we often walk on the beach, collecting leftovers that were thrown
by visitors.
Also, two years ago I arranged a big civil rebellion against a gas
refinery that was due to be built in front of my house on Dor beach.
In 2008, I’ve released Big Mother, an album created
out of great pain. Big Mother is a cry for help, to raise
awareness, to wake up, and today, in honor of Earth Day 2011, I'm
giving it away for free, as you'll see in the video below. Music is the
best way I can convey a message. I could go on and on about the
importance of the subject, but no words I’ll write, could replace the
essence of the message I’m trying to make about this subject, and
therefore I believe that giving my album for free could do a much
better and accurate job. I truly hope this record will touch you, move
you and will bring you to action.
Donate to one of the green organization, be it your time or money,
teach your children and friends to keep in mind this very basic concept
- and just be aware. Please help me spread the message and share this
page with your friends and families and I sincerely hope that with
every year that goes by from one Earth Day to another Earth Day – we’ll
see a constant improvement and reach our goal of saving the planet.
God bless you all
Albert Beger
