Green Addict

Redefining what it means to be Green

About Me

Welcome to our Green Addict Myspace page ;)
Call us what you will...hippies of the new millenia (comparable to the Merry Pranksters in the 60's less the LSD)... the Green Addicts have evolved from a small, San Diego based, commmunity-driven effort into an organization. We have instituted the principles of social and environmental responsibility, commingling these elements within the club and special event arena.
We are truly excited to continue sharing the knowledge in search of achieving an eco-conscious, socially and ethically responsible way of life.
Green Addict is leading the charge in producing events with a conscience. We stand behind the use of web-based promotion tools (email, website, Myspace, Facebook) instead of paper flyers and it is starting to be taken seriously. An environmental law just passed in Miami, FL imposing NO FLYERING during the Winter Music Conference in March 2008.

Here are some events that Green Addict is taking part in and you should too!

2008 WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE (March 25-31st, 2008)
http://wintermusicconference. com/
Green Addict has teamed up with the National Wildlife Federation campaign called Turn the Tables on Global Warming in Miami, and will be moderating a panel called “Green Initiatives in the Music Industry” taking place on Wednesday, March 26th at the Catalina Hotel. We have a superb panel of experts taking part, including:
Richie Hawtin- Minus Records
Josh Stempel- Live Earth
Carlos Correal- Mansion/The Opium Group
Alterra Robinson- Turn The Tables on Global Warming
Grafiti- Leama w/ Perfecto and Sony
Rob Simas- BPM Magazine
Neal Turley- Sustainable Waves
Monica Salazar - Green Addict and Earthdance San Diego
2008 COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL (Friday, April 25, Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27)
Coachella. com
Green Addict is launching its first eco-village in the Coachella campground. This area will act as a community center where people can cool off from the heat, watch an environmental movie, log onto a computer, charge up their cell phone…all powered by alternative energy. We will also be implementing our own version of Carpoolchella by sponsoring buses running on biodiesel from San Diego to Indio.
Look out for the Nostika/Green Addict Carpoolchella Contest next month!

SEE YOU THERE!!! ..FREE PASSES for this FRIDAY (If you are interested, please contact Moni @ (619)379-6094 before Friday)DJ Rap is CHARISSA SAVERIO and has been the undisputed queen of the turntables and voted the #1 female DJ in the world by Shejay, she owns, records for, runs and A&Rs two labels Proper Talent and Improper Talent, a producer, recording artist and an actor. She has been a prime mover on the Drum & Bass scene but not content to just sit in the studio and direct, she learned her craft as an engineer and produced many classics, often while collaborating with other artists. Hits like "Spiritual Aura" changed the face of Drum and Bass and lead to the birth of Proper Talent.

After being the first artist on the scene to self-release her first CD, she gathered interest from Sony and was soon signed to them along with the likes of Grooverider and Leftfield, where she surprised us again with a new sound. Rolling Stone Magazine gave Learning Curve three and a half stars "this is the record Madonna wanted to make." Learning Curve went on to sell over 1000,000 bringing her total sales to over 3000,000 copies worldwide in including her successful compilation sales including Journeys By DJ, Propa Classics Vol. 1 & 2, Brave New World, Armani Exchange & touching bass, Bulletproof, up all night, which have all crossed many genres and has become DJ Rap's trademark.

Now we see the long awaited follow up to "learning curve" with "SYNTHESIS" which is a fusion of beauty,rock and electronica, with every lyric heartfelt and raw" produced by no other than CARMEN RIZZO.

The Green Addicts have served as representatives in San Diego and beyond by conducting:
Global stewardship and outreach.
Research and education of sustainable solutions for event producers.
Educating the public about the impacts of global warming on essential resources such as water and energy.
In 2006 we wrote a letter to Mayor Jerry Sanders to encourage him to sign the US Climate Protection Agreement which took place in September of the same year!

And to the wonderful people who made it possible behind the scenes…

Global warming isn’t fair. Americans comprise just 5% of the world’s population, but we are responsible for producing 25% of the world’s global warming pollution.The world’s poorest people are least-equipped to cope with the impacts that scientists foretell drought, wild fires, floods, rising sea-levels and they will suffer the most. And animals and ecosystems with the fewest options to adapt will be faced with the hardest battles for survival.But there’s hope. We can turn this around.Scientists tell us we need to set a target of reducing global warming pollution by 80% by 2050 to prevent catastrophic climate change.We can achieve that goal by reducing global warming pollution by 2% each year.NWF is calling on Congress to pass strong legislation that will put America on track to achieve this goal. It’s a global problem, but the solution starts with you. Join us. Take the 2% Pledge today!
