What's more manly than smashing a guitar on stage? Or destroying a drum set? How about planting a tree? Linkin Park, the alt rockers behind the nonprofit Music for Relief, are helping wind down the Green Music Group Challenge with a tree-planting contest.
Members of Linkin Park are encouraging fans of shade, oxygen and songs like "New Divide," "Numb" and "In the End," to plant a tree as part of the latest GMG Challenge, which features members of the Green Music Group. You can dig the dirt in your own backyard, use TreeLink to hook up with a local planting organization, or both.
To play, you plant the tree or sign up for a tree-planting event, then take a photo of your good deed and upload it to the GMG site. The tag this time is "SEVEN."
It's more than lip service from these fellas. Since 2005, Music for Relief has planted more than 800,000 trees, sequestering more than 270,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
The challenge ends at noon on July 16. The best pic will win a selection from the Warner Music Group music catalogue AND a new Apple iPad.
Speaking of the iPad, Linkin Park recently got into the app business with a game "8-Bit Rebellion."
If you participate in the tree-planting project, your name goes into a big hat for the grand prize, a Honda Insight hybrid.
