Charged with purity of heart, clear intention and willingness to serve, Parvati is making this courageous journey to a small, desolate island in the Arctic Ocean known as Ward Hunt Island, where less than one month ago, a chunk of ice the size of Bermuda spontaneously calved off the glacier. She will become the first ever to perform at the magnetic North Pole, and will offer her songs to help raise awareness of the global ecological impact of the melting polar ice caps.

Parvati, a Canadian musical artist and yoga instructor, is taking a courageous journey to the most northern Canadian soil: a small, desolate island in the Arctic Ocean known as Ward Hunt Island. The location is just kilometres from the Magnetic North Pole and 200 kilometres from 90 degrees North.<br /><br />Parvati’s mission is to bring awareness to the urgent ecological effect of melting polar ice caps. Charged with purity of heart, clear intention, and the willingness to serve, Parvati will become the first artist to ever perform this far North. There she will offer her songs to help raise awareness of just how quickly the ice caps are disappearing and the devastating effect this is having on the entire planet.<br /><br />Born in Montreal and now living in Toronto, Parvati is an internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter, performer and producer of electronic dance pop. Her music celebrates the gift of life and her debut album and multimedia show, Yoga in the Nightclub, has had people from Toronto to Berlin shaking to its joyful rhythms. After a summer of increased signs of environmental distress, Parvati decided to postpone her Canadian tour to trek to the North Pole. She says she simply cannot turn away from the effects climate change is having.<br /><br /> “I feel the global ecological crisis is a wake up call for us all, a call to awaken I AM consciousness, the magnificence of who we are,” says Parvati.”The planet reflects how we collectively treat ourselves, each other and our environment. A collective is only as strong as its individuals. If we want to change our environment, we need to transform ourselves.”<br /><br />Parvati will be joined on the trip by Satish Sikha (www.ourearth-wewill.com), another environmental activist. In Resolute, Canada’s most remote city, Satish will unveil the world’s longest piece of woven silk. Each segment is signed by a celebrity, politican or international dignitary who shares their thoughts on climate change.<br /><br />Parvati leaves Toronto on September 23, 2010 to meet with city council in Iqaluit andperform for school children in Nunavut. She will singat the top of the world on September 26th. <br /><br />The timing of Parvati’s trip is significant. Recent news reports that many ice shelves in Greenland and Canada have cracked. At the end of August, NASA reported an ice crack on Ward Hunt Island that is 40 metres deep and the size of Bermuda. Meanwhile, the sea ice levels are at an unprecedented low land as such wreaking havoc on our fragile ecosystem.<br /><br />More information about Parvati’s trip is available at www.parvati.ca.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643538215723271518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-28449570079971395882008-07-29T13:08:00.000+01:002008-07-29T13:08:00.000+01:00This is a superb piece of writing from brill Bry! ...This is a superb piece of writing from brill Bry!

I have one myself." Why is that? Are there no longer land lines where you live? If there are, then it seems you can criticize one consumer indulgence (frivolous air travel) yet seemingly be blind to the incredible polluting consequences of cell phones -- millions of 'obsolete' ones end up in land fills each year, and they are particularly poisonous since they contain exotic metals and minerals that leach out as they break down. And of course the invisible 'electrosmog' produced by cell networks is very damaging to human health, as is increasingly clear from studies that are getting out despite massive propaganda and scientist-bribing by the telecom industry.<BR/><BR/>Given your stated values, why are you participating in the cell phone madness?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00001067799381836553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-83852856824048767082008-05-06T14:25:00.000+01:002008-05-06T14:25:00.000+01:00Bry,I couldn't find a contact email for you so I h...Bry,<BR/><BR/>I couldn't find a contact email for you so I hope you don't mind me sending this to you through a comment.<BR/><BR/>We're hosting an event to launch a new piece of global research on consumer perception on climate change.

I know there is a ton of them but I interested to find some that I haven’t seen before. I saw Ed Begley Jr. on EarthLab.com ( http://www.earthlab.com/life/livingwithed/ ) Leo DiCaprio is on their site too. Any other good places to find ‘ecolebrities’? (Besides ecorazzi) <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your info and drop me a link if you guys see anything worth my time.adrian2514https://www.blogger.com/profile/07117329543115128931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-43850307478212863962008-03-05T00:48:00.000+00:002008-03-05T00:48:00.000+00:00Bri, I like your blog, keep up the good workJohn C...Bri, I like your blog, keep up the good work<BR/>John Cossham<BR/>'low carbon lifestyle' on blogspotCompost Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270806060748616269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-23186900606720224372008-02-28T05:23:00.000+00:002008-02-28T05:23:00.000+00:00It's very useful to have such perspective.Someone ...It's very useful to have such perspective.<BR/>Someone recently pointed out to me that 20-year-olds have never known a world without CDs.<BR/><BR/>I dare say it's easier to go this way than the other.<BR/><BR/>While we cannot continue to use energy as we have done recently, the reduction does not have to mean penury.

We were a 'lower middle class' family, but the hot water was only turned on once a week when we all had baths. My parents would not have dreamed of heating more than one room in the house. I and most of the children in my class at school had chilblains on our toes in the winter which were agony when our toes defrosted after we'd been outside; our class teacher used to pass round an ice-cube to rub on the sores to stop the burning and itching. I would not want to go back to those days, but how times have changed!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717309322729778838noreply@blogger.com
