MaY_LPGava pisze: (00:21):1 of th goals of MFR is to prevent future natural disasters, so have u thought abt The Amazon Forest. You know that th weather nd this forest r linked nd many disasters could happen if it was destroyed! Is there anything that MFR can do to help the Amazon?
MikeMacias pisze: (00:21): Hello Phoenix! I actually got a SocialVibe account, how much am I helping by the simple fact of having that account and putting my badge on myspace?
phoenix pisze: (00:21): I think there are a lot of reasons why it is important, the main being the quality of how we leave the earth for our children and future generations
nillp pisze: phoenix (00:23): hi! does MFR have any plan/event especially to Earth's day? besides, any plans/desire to implement another ?offices? of MFR in other countries (like the one in Sherman Oaks, CA)? thanks for chatting! xoxo from Brazil
Numbrocker02 pisze: (00:23): Hey Phi! Are you guys doing anything specific for MFR during this upcoming tour? It was great that you didn't leave a carbon footprint during PR! Awesome news about Haiti!!!
phoenix pisze: (00:24): I am trying to be more conscious about energy efficient in my home and in my purchases. One of the main things I have learned that I can do to be more environmentally friendly is to buy things that don't need to be replaced often such as appliances
ninja_girl pisze: Splash (00:24): Hi Phoenix! How would someone with a disability contribute to the cause?
phoenix pisze: (00:24): and other reusable products and my personal goal is to have my whole house running on solar power by 2010!
Rickster pisze: (00:27): Hey Phoenix. I was wanting to know if MFR has programs for schools (elementray,high school, college) to get into to help raise money? And how could I help get my school involved? Thanx for chatting and giving us great music with the band
PinkSoldier9 pisze: (00:27): Hi Phi, I?m Fiorella from Peru, my question: I heard from you in an interview that the medium to which we?ll receive the next album will be different, were you talking about a ?green? way to receive it, something like the recycled paper on MTM booklets?
PinkyLouloulp pisze: (00:27): Hey Phi! I was wondering how did the idea of Music For Relief come up? I mean you are the first band that established such organization. Were you influenced by something ? Thanks for coming!
ReflectionistBaz pisze: (00:29): Hey Phoenix, any plans on releasing a Music for Relief CD with exclusive tracks to raise more money for Haiti? How's the new album sounding?
phoenix pisze: (00:29): As for Earth Day, MFR just participated in the Green apple Music Festival which was a volunteer event in 10 cities in the U.S. for Earth Day. MFR volunteers helped build a Green Home with Habitat for Humanity in Lynwood, CA
phoenix pisze: (00:31): We have volunteers helping MFR all over the world and people can stay in contact online but for now there are no plans for new physical offices internationally
SAMMYSCHRODT pisze: (00:31): In germany MFR is not so famous as it should be which way do you think is the best to inspire more people to get involved in MFR?
stefangh pisze: (00:31): i would like to ask phoenix what plans does the MFR has for 2009?
stingrayship pisze: (00:32): Has Linkin Park ever thought about doing another LPU type tour? or a Small Venue tour for the fans? maybe with all the proceeds going to MFR.
SCarrie pisze: (00:32): Hi Phoenix, thanks for chatting with us. Haiti is such a poor country and so many people need our help.How many people do you expect to be able to help with MFR ? Is there more we can do? wish you the best. Carrie from Belgium.
Sepol pisze: (00:32): Do you think that Music For Relief will, in the future, work with the organization of big humanitarian/environmental festivals like Live 8 or Live Earth? Greetings from Portugal ;)
phoenix pisze: (00:32): Reflectionist...new album sounds very exciting at this point, I can't wait for all of you to hear it
phoenix pisze: (00:33): Hey Carrie, the goal with the Haiti project is to get people involved
phoenix pisze: (00:34): the more people that know there is a problem and there is need in Haiti the better
vegmonkey pisze: (00:36): Do you think we can stop global warming or it's too late to do so? greeting from Denmark and hope you come here (})
phoenix pisze: (00:36): In 2009 MFR is planning more events for supporters like all of you to get involved and we are also working on more preventative measures for example we will working to protect the wetlands in the Gulf Coast which is the natural protection against hurricane
Wello pisze: (00:36): Hey Super Awesome King Phi! :) Is there anything special Linkin Park is doing to be more earth friendly this summer on the tour? For instance, eliminating plastic water bottles or switching to a more energy efficient power source?
toms32 pisze: Waiting4thesun (00:36): Hello Phoenix.How do you choose causes for Music For Relief?Do you pick places that might have higher donation level or you choose more poor places?
thegluelpfan pisze: ChildofDemons (00:36): Hey Phoenix!What's the most importand cause (in your opinion) that Music For Relief got involved with?Lots of love from Bulgaria:)
ThaPoet pisze: (00:36): What inspired the name Music for Relief? Greetings from UK, London
west_lp pisze: (00:37): Hey Phoenix, I'd like to know what's your biggest experience that involves Music For Relief and I'd like to know if you would like to play another instrument in a live concert, like a violin for example. Greetins from Brazil.
darknessovrme pisze: (00:37): great questions so far guys keep up the good work!
phoenix pisze: (00:39): This summer we are touring internationally and that brings with it specific challenges, but we are on all headlining shows making a donation to MFR that will go to our environmental initiatives
phoenix pisze: (00:39): We are continuing to work with promoters to help make the environmental impact of the shows as small as possible. That includes recycling at the venues, wherever possible using green power?horse drawn carriages for the equipment, etc.
XaGiCo pisze (00:40): hi phoenix my question is would you like to see MFR become bigger, with more bands involved, actors, and that stuff? a greeting for Ponferrada in Spain
ZacharyJohnson pisze: phoenix (00:40): It says that music for relief is just over 5,000 dollars short of there goal and there is only 6 days left. If I can?t afford a money donation, what can I do to help and am I any less important than the people giving money donations?
phoenix pisze: (00:40): West_lp: I really enjoyed working on the Habitat home in New Orleans
phoenix pisze: (00:41): I always like doing anything where they give me a hammer and nails
786Khadija pisze: (00:41): Will MFR be involved in the Clean up the World campaign ? They have an Ambassador Program & I think you would be a great Ambassador Phoenix !
phoenix pisze: (00:41): I would like to play another instrument, the trick is getting the other guys to let me play something else
4Phil pisze: (00:42): How do you go about choosing bands and partners for MFR or do they come to you guys?
phoenix pisze: (00:43): I would love to see MFR become an organization representative of the larger music community
ZoZZy pisze: (00:43): At your new alboum will you include any songs about Earth, in your lyrics? Something will encourage your fans about protecting our Earth? Are you optimistic about MFR, do you think we can make it? Greetings from Greece (:
akitagirl pisze: (00:44): How do you decide the way funds donated are split up between all the worthy causes, and how much do you think the economy is really effecting donating.
Aeternum_Vale pisze: (00:45): hi phoenix!! In what ways, both good and bad, if there are any bad, has MFR changed over the years?
cuzer pisze: (00:45): Hello Phi! Do you feel MFR is doing what you expected when started out? Is there anything you'd like MFR to take care about? Much love from Poland (})
Arti_Bennoda pisze: (00:45): Hey, Phoenix! I have a question about MFR. When MFR started, did you ever think that it would help so many people in the way it has? Thanks! ~Arti
phoenix pisze: (00:46): Zachary you don't need to give any money for the Haiti campaign
phoenix pisze: (00:46): if you really want to help you just need to concentrate on getting as many friends to sign up and support us on Socialvibe.com
phoenix pisze: (00:47): Arti: I think MFR has evolved, but the short answer is no. Initially it was a response to the tsunami in Southern Asia and it has grown from there
phoenix pisze: (00:48): MFR has gotten a lot more organized and a lot more focused...one word...Whitney
darknessovrme pisze: (00:48): do not post more than one question and dont multiple post your question

DarthYak pisze: (00:53): /me sends love to Jade
phoenix pisze: (00:54): LinkinGunter: the album is inspired by our daily lives and MFR is a part of that. Highly unlikely that there will be a cell solo
DarthYak pisze: (00:54): she asked me. :P
DarthYak pisze: (00:54): ok D E and F go!
darknessovrme pisze: (00:55): keep up the amazing questions everyone and thanks for your patience
Evris pisze: (00:55): Hey.Phoenix!!Well i know that MFR is about helping when natural disasters are taking place and environment in general, but why dont you at least help the elimination of hunger in the countries they need it? Thnx and remember; Peace and Music can save!!(F)
