P<strong>re</strong>sident’s Message<br />
“Get out of <strong>the</strong> new one if you can’t lend your hand”<br />
2006 was a banner year for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h and we knew that as that year came to a close, we we<strong>re</strong> poised for ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
amazing year of accomplishments in 2007. But never could we have imagined <strong>the</strong> extent of <strong>the</strong> overwhelming success<br />
that <strong>the</strong> organization enjoyed in ’07. By nearly every standard, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h g<strong>re</strong>w: members, money raised, profile,<br />
involvement in festivals, diversity of a<strong>rt</strong>ist pa<strong>rt</strong>ners and audience <strong>re</strong>ached, substantive projects advanced, grant<br />
applications and grants awarded – all expectations we<strong>re</strong> exceeded. With only one full-time paid employee and<br />
two pa<strong>rt</strong>-time employees, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to grow thanks in large pa<strong>rt</strong> to <strong>the</strong> effo<strong>rt</strong>s of <strong>the</strong> nearly th<strong>re</strong>e dozen<br />
Volunteer Staff and Advisory Board members. Some of <strong>the</strong> highlights contained within this 2007 Annual Repo<strong>rt</strong> a<strong>re</strong>:<br />
• With financial suppo<strong>rt</strong> from <strong>the</strong> Rex Foundation and <strong>the</strong> Fund for Wild Natu<strong>re</strong>, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continued<br />
to prosecute its first litigation matter – a lawsuit against <strong>the</strong> United States National Park Service for <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
mismanagement of <strong>the</strong> st<strong>re</strong>tch of <strong>the</strong> Colorado River that flows through Grand Canyon National Park.<br />
• In our first petition campaign, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h formed a pa<strong>rt</strong>nership with <strong>the</strong> Gulf Restoration Network and<br />
Save Our Cyp<strong>re</strong>ss against Wal-Ma<strong>rt</strong>, Lowes and Home Depot to petition <strong>the</strong> companies to cease purchasing<br />
and selling mulch from cyp<strong>re</strong>ss fo<strong>re</strong>sts within <strong>the</strong> Gulf Region. After only th<strong>re</strong>e months, Wal-ma<strong>rt</strong> announced<br />
that <strong>the</strong>y will no longer sell cyp<strong>re</strong>ss mulch originating in <strong>the</strong> Gulf <strong>re</strong>gion.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h conducted its first service project. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h volunteers and Staff collaborated with John<br />
Butler Trio, B<strong>re</strong>tt Dennen, CLIF Bar G<strong>re</strong>en Notes, Surfrider Foundation, and Save <strong>the</strong> Bay, on a beach<br />
cleanup and conce<strong>rt</strong> at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, California.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h successfully “g<strong>re</strong>ened” Jam Cruise for <strong>the</strong> second time in as many years. With <strong>the</strong> suppo<strong>rt</strong> of<br />
festival promoters, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h pa<strong>rt</strong>ne<strong>re</strong>d with g<strong>re</strong>en businesses, a<strong>rt</strong>ists and ano<strong>the</strong>r nonprofit to <strong>re</strong>duce <strong>the</strong><br />
environmental impact of <strong>the</strong> festival, educate and activate attendees on environmental issues, and completely<br />
offset <strong>the</strong> carbon emissions from <strong>the</strong> ship with t<strong>re</strong>es planted in Haiti and <strong>the</strong> Dominican Republic.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s volunteer legal and technical Staff <strong>re</strong>viewed and/or worked on 15 separate, substantive<br />
issues and projects brought to our attention by suppo<strong>rt</strong>ers in <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h played a major pa<strong>rt</strong> in <strong>the</strong> environmental programming at 3 festivals in 2007: Bonnaroo, The<br />
Echo Project and <strong>the</strong> No<strong>rt</strong>hwest String Summit.<br />
• As of year end, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h had 2075 members in all 50 states, an inc<strong>re</strong>ase of 24% over our 2006 membership.<br />
Over 14,000 people a<strong>re</strong> now on our mailing list.<br />
• Nearly 43% of our members and <strong>the</strong> people on our mailing list have voluntee<strong>re</strong>d to assist <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h in<br />
some way – from tabling conce<strong>rt</strong>s and festivals, to providing legal and technical assistance, to grant writing and<br />
helping us with publicity.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h volunteers have donated mo<strong>re</strong> than 10,000 hours suppo<strong>rt</strong>ing our mission and activities.<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h had a p<strong>re</strong>sence at 126 conce<strong>rt</strong> dates throughout <strong>the</strong> United States in 2007, and had a full-time<br />
team that traversed <strong>the</strong> country for 17 weeks between May and September.<br />
• Over 100 unpaid volunteers worked <strong>the</strong>se conce<strong>rt</strong> and festival events in 2007.<br />
• In 2007, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h raised over $125,000 from memberships, sponsorships, donations, grants and auctions<br />
– a 23% inc<strong>re</strong>ase over 2006!<br />
• The music industry and mo<strong>re</strong>-high profile a<strong>rt</strong>ists continued to embrace <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h in 2007, leading us to<br />
collaborate with, among o<strong>the</strong>rs, Ozzy Osbourne and Ozzfest, <strong>the</strong> Vans Warped Tour, Incubus, The Allman<br />
Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Band, The Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws Band, and <strong>the</strong> Indigo Girls.
2007annual <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong><br />
• In 2007, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h not only continued to maintain a pa<strong>rt</strong>-time paid Office Manager and a full-time<br />
paid Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor, but <strong>the</strong> organization also hi<strong>re</strong>d its first Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor (pa<strong>rt</strong>-time).<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to advance, prog<strong>re</strong>ssing onward to becoming not only a fixtu<strong>re</strong> in <strong>the</strong> music community,<br />
but also serving as a huge asset to <strong>the</strong> environmental community. In 2007, we pa<strong>rt</strong>ne<strong>re</strong>d with mo<strong>re</strong> bands and<br />
mo<strong>re</strong> environmental organizations than ever befo<strong>re</strong>, leveraging nearly 15,000 environmentally concerned and<br />
music-loving constituents to bring about environmental awa<strong>re</strong>ness and change. Some of our most significant<br />
work in 2007 took place in pa<strong>rt</strong>nership with o<strong>the</strong>r groups. Not only did we completely prosecute our first piece<br />
of litigation through <strong>the</strong> Federal District Cou<strong>rt</strong> level in pa<strong>rt</strong>nership with two o<strong>the</strong>r environmental groups, but<br />
our public campaign with <strong>the</strong> Save Our Cyp<strong>re</strong>ss Coalition to force <strong>re</strong>tailers to stop buying and selling mulch<br />
from endange<strong>re</strong>d cyp<strong>re</strong>ss fo<strong>re</strong>sts in <strong>the</strong> Gulf Region, <strong>re</strong>sulted in success and caused Wal-Ma<strong>rt</strong> to ag<strong>re</strong>e to<br />
stop selling such mulch.<br />
The year wasn’t without our struggles with <strong>re</strong>gard to funding, but whe<strong>re</strong>as a year ago, nearly all of our money<br />
came from grassroots memberships, in 2007 over $30,000 came from businesses, special events and grants.<br />
Fu<strong>rt</strong>hermo<strong>re</strong>, membership <strong>re</strong>newal rates we<strong>re</strong> up, <strong>the</strong> average amount donated to <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h with a<br />
membership similarly rose, multiple donations from <strong>the</strong> same donors within a calendar year inc<strong>re</strong>ased. All<br />
of this combined, not only provided <strong>the</strong> organization with a mo<strong>re</strong> rounded and sustainable funding plan, but<br />
positions <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h for inc<strong>re</strong>ased success in <strong>the</strong>se a<strong>re</strong>as in 2008. With <strong>the</strong> addition of a new pa<strong>rt</strong>-time<br />
paid Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor to <strong>re</strong>ally focus on individual donors and g<strong>re</strong>en corporate pa<strong>rt</strong>ners, it is our belief<br />
that we will maintain (or exceed) <strong>the</strong> cur<strong>re</strong>nt rate of growth in 2008.<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to make inroads with an inc<strong>re</strong>asingly diverse number of a<strong>rt</strong>ists and once again,<br />
we worked with some of <strong>the</strong> biggest names in <strong>Rock</strong> ‘n Roll, highlighted by our work with <strong>the</strong> Vans Warped<br />
Tour and as <strong>the</strong> first and only charity working with <strong>the</strong> Ozzfest tour. Our exposu<strong>re</strong> at music festivals also<br />
<strong>re</strong>ached new heights. For <strong>the</strong> second year in a row, we played a major role in <strong>the</strong> environmental programming<br />
at Bonnaroo (<strong>the</strong> largest music festival in <strong>the</strong> country), highlighted by one-on-one, on-stage interviews<br />
with Michael Franti, War<strong>re</strong>n Haynes and rock legend, Bob Weir. We also played significant roles in <strong>the</strong><br />
environmental programming at <strong>the</strong> first annual Echo Project in Georgia, as well as at <strong>the</strong> annual No<strong>rt</strong>hwest<br />
String Summit in O<strong>re</strong>gon.<br />
As 2007 came to a close, <strong>the</strong> enti<strong>re</strong> Volunteer Staff and Advisory Board a<strong>re</strong> inc<strong>re</strong>dibly excited and optimistic.<br />
We have several, unique projects under development, including a potential national cable television show,<br />
coordinating <strong>the</strong> programming, g<strong>re</strong>ening and vending at a major festival, and gearing up for our most ambitious<br />
Summer Education & Out<strong>re</strong>ach Tour yet.<br />
In 2008, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h will continue to expand our work to p<strong>re</strong>serve America’s most th<strong>re</strong>atened natural spaces<br />
and hold polluters and governmental entities <strong>re</strong>sponsible for <strong>the</strong>ir actions. We will continue to educate and<br />
activate thousands of environmentally concerned, music-loving fans, inspiring <strong>the</strong>m to take actions to c<strong>re</strong>ate<br />
a mo<strong>re</strong> sustainable and healthy planet, and we’ll continue to look for oppo<strong>rt</strong>unities to work with a g<strong>re</strong>ater<br />
variety of a<strong>rt</strong>ists. Meanwhile, with every passing year, it becomes all too clear that <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h is indeed<br />
poised to <strong>re</strong>ach its goal of becoming <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>eminent environmental advocacy organization to work<br />
with and on behalf of <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />
We thank you for your suppo<strong>rt</strong> and hope that you will continue to join with us in 2008.<br />
<strong>Rock</strong>in’ in <strong>the</strong> f<strong>re</strong>e world,<br />

Environmental Accomplishments<br />
We a<strong>re</strong> proud to <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong> that in 2007 <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s environmental<br />
advocacy and educational projects continued to expand, impacting<br />
environmental issues and <strong>the</strong> public in profound ways. We continued<br />
to prosecute our first lawsuit in federal cou<strong>rt</strong> and conducted our<br />
first public campaign against a major <strong>re</strong>tailer (Wal-Ma<strong>rt</strong>). In<br />
addition, <strong>the</strong> music community continued to embrace <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h<br />
by tapping us to conduct environmental education at Bonnaroo, <strong>the</strong><br />
largest festival in <strong>the</strong> United States, <strong>the</strong> No<strong>rt</strong>hwest String Summit,<br />
as well as at The Echo Project, a new music festival in which an<br />
environmental <strong>the</strong>me ran throughout all aspects of <strong>the</strong> event. Also,<br />
for <strong>the</strong> second time in as many years, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h was tapped to run<br />
an environmental education/action program on Jam Cruise, which<br />
<strong>re</strong>sulted in significant and measurable environmental outcomes. All<br />
<strong>the</strong> while, our experienced legal and technical team continued to<br />
move ahead on several new issues, while continuing to <strong>re</strong>search and<br />
investigate o<strong>the</strong>r issues brought to us by <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />
• January 2007: RtE conducted G<strong>re</strong>ening Jam Cruise, an environmental<br />
education and action program to <strong>re</strong>duce <strong>the</strong> environmental<br />
impacts from a festival on a cruise ship. The following<br />
accomplishments we<strong>re</strong> a di<strong>re</strong>ct <strong>re</strong>sult of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s “G<strong>re</strong>ening<br />
Jam Cruise Program”:<br />
- RtE planted 78,510 t<strong>re</strong>es in <strong>the</strong> Dominican Republic and Haiti<br />
to completely offset <strong>the</strong> emissions caused by Jam Cruise 5.<br />
- RtE dive<strong>rt</strong>ed nearly 11 tons of glass, aluminum and steel to<br />
<strong>re</strong>cycling facilities.<br />
- RtE implemented a towel and linen <strong>re</strong>use program on <strong>the</strong><br />
cruise ship.<br />
- RtE contracted with g<strong>re</strong>en sponsors to bring environmentallyfriendly<br />
products on-board, including biodegradable/non-toxic<br />
soap, shampoo, and lotion, c<strong>re</strong>amer, milk, yerba mate, and<br />
snack bars.<br />
- RtE hosted a private, educational event on Social Change<br />
Through Music, featuring Zach Gill (ALO, Jack Johnson),<br />
Ma<strong>rt</strong>in Fierro (Zero), Tim Carbone (Railroad Ea<strong>rt</strong>h), Aaron<br />
Redner (Hot Butte<strong>re</strong>d Rum), Matt McDonald (Perpetual<br />
Groove), Michael Newton (Guayaki Yerba Mate), and<br />
moderated by RtE Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor Marc Ross.<br />
- RtE advised Jam Cruise on using environmentally-friendly/<br />
organic merchandise as well as securing 100% <strong>re</strong>cycled content<br />
paper for all production needs and signage.<br />
• February 2007: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h legal and technical staff submitted<br />
a comment letter to <strong>the</strong> Fo<strong>rt</strong> Carson Di<strong>re</strong>ctorate of Environmental<br />
Compliance and Management opposing <strong>the</strong> proposed<br />
Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site (PCMS) Transformation. In<br />
<strong>the</strong> comments, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h argued, among o<strong>the</strong>r things, that<br />
<strong>the</strong> Draft Environmental Impact Statement failed to adequately<br />
add<strong>re</strong>ss <strong>the</strong> environmental impacts of <strong>the</strong> proposed project. The<br />
PCMS lands include undisturbed, pristine natural a<strong>re</strong>as with<br />
impo<strong>rt</strong>ant ecological, archaeological and historical featu<strong>re</strong>s.<br />
• May 2007: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h legal and technical staff submitted<br />
comments to <strong>the</strong> National Park Service on <strong>the</strong> Draft Environmental<br />
Impact Statement for <strong>the</strong> long-term Winter Use Plan for<br />
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. At issue is<br />
<strong>the</strong> continued use of snowmobiles in <strong>the</strong> Parks, which <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Ea<strong>rt</strong>h has opposed <strong>re</strong>peatedly since 2002. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h, once<br />
again, opposed <strong>the</strong> Plan on <strong>the</strong> basis that <strong>the</strong> continued use of<br />
snowmobiles in <strong>the</strong> Parks (which was to be phased out under <strong>the</strong><br />
2000 plan) impairs natural soundscapes, air quality, wildlife and<br />
visitors’ experience.<br />
• May 2007: Attorneys for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h filed an opening brief<br />

against Wal-Ma<strong>rt</strong>, Lowes and Home Depot to petition<br />
<strong>the</strong> companies to cease purchasing and selling mulch from cyp<strong>re</strong>ss<br />
fo<strong>re</strong>sts within <strong>the</strong> Gulf Region. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h commenced<br />
a public postcard campaign to suppo<strong>rt</strong> <strong>the</strong> project.<br />
• June 2007: At <strong>the</strong> Bonnaroo Music & A<strong>rt</strong>s Festival, <strong>the</strong> largest<br />
music festival in <strong>the</strong> United States, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h hosted daily<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Solar Stage between RtE Executive Di<strong>re</strong>ctor Marc<br />
Ross and rock legend Bob Weir (Grateful Dead, Ratdog).<br />
• August 2007: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h again encouraged <strong>the</strong> public to<br />
comment on a <strong>re</strong>-opened scoping process for <strong>the</strong> National Park<br />
Service’s Wild & Scenic designation for <strong>the</strong> Tuolumne River in<br />
No<strong>rt</strong>hern California. In 2006, at <strong>the</strong> suggestion of Hot Butte<strong>re</strong>d<br />
Rum, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h urged <strong>the</strong> Park Service to seriously consider<br />
<strong>the</strong> decommissioning of <strong>the</strong> O’Shaughnessy Dam and <strong>re</strong>storing<br />
<strong>the</strong> Hetch Hetchy Valley.<br />
• August 2007: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h conducted environmental education<br />

<strong>re</strong>gulatory changes by <strong>the</strong> U.S. Depa<strong>rt</strong>ment of Interior’s Office<br />
of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement that would suppo<strong>rt</strong><br />
and facilitate destructive mountain top mining by allowing<br />
mining activities to impact a<strong>re</strong>as within 100 feet of a st<strong>re</strong>am, a
2007annual <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong><br />
change in <strong>the</strong> law that is contrary to both <strong>the</strong> letter and intent of both <strong>the</strong> federal Surface Mining Act and<br />
Clean Water Act.<br />

public text messaging campaign to members of Cong<strong>re</strong>ss to petition <strong>the</strong> federal government to<br />
suppo<strong>rt</strong> inc<strong>re</strong>ased effo<strong>rt</strong>s to <strong>re</strong>sto<strong>re</strong> critical wetlands and o<strong>the</strong>r environmental controls and <strong>re</strong>mediation in<br />
<strong>the</strong> Katrina-ravaged Gulf Region.<br />
• December 2007: <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h volunteers and staff collaborated with John Butler Trio, B<strong>re</strong>tt Dennen,<br />

Ea<strong>rt</strong>h and its plaintiff pa<strong>rt</strong>ners on <strong>the</strong>ir challenge to <strong>the</strong> Colorado River Management Plan. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h<br />
intends to appeal <strong>the</strong> District Cou<strong>rt</strong> decision to <strong>the</strong> 9 th Circuit Cou<strong>rt</strong> of Appeals in early 2008.<br />
In addition to <strong>the</strong> formal legal and educational activities that RtE conducted in 2007, our legal and technical<br />
staff members <strong>re</strong>viewed or monito<strong>re</strong>d <strong>the</strong> following issues:<br />
• <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h and <strong>the</strong> Hawaiian Conservation Alliance (KAHEA) continued <strong>re</strong>view of “<strong>re</strong>search” permits<br />
issued by state and federal authorities in <strong>the</strong> newly established Papahnaumokuakea Marine National<br />
Monument. Many of <strong>the</strong>se permits allow for activities specifically banned by state and federal law. This<br />
work was pa<strong>rt</strong>ially funded by Jack Johnson.<br />
• Non-compliant discharges from publicly owned sewage facilities along <strong>the</strong> Chattahoochee River in <strong>the</strong> Atlanta<br />
metropolitan a<strong>re</strong>a, an issue suggested to us by fans of Jack Johnson during our 2005 Summer Tour;<br />
• The declining water levels in <strong>the</strong> G<strong>re</strong>at Lakes, an issue suggested to us by Steven Page of <strong>the</strong> Ba<strong>re</strong>naked<br />
Ladies;<br />
• The construction of <strong>the</strong> Sevier Power Company’s coal-fi<strong>re</strong>d electric generation facility in sou<strong>the</strong>rn Utah, an<br />
issue suggested to us by <strong>the</strong> San Francisco band, ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra);<br />
• Identification of large emitters of pollution in <strong>the</strong> San Joaquin Valley in California, an issue also<br />
suggested to us by ALO;<br />
• The disposal of nuclear waste on Native American lands, an issue suggested to us by Peter<br />
Rowan;<br />
• Various issues concerning development in <strong>the</strong> headwaters of, and wetlands tied to <strong>the</strong> St.<br />
Johns River in no<strong>rt</strong>hern Florida, as well as large water diversions from <strong>the</strong> river, issues suggested<br />
by Debbie Trucks, mo<strong>the</strong>r to De<strong>re</strong>k Trucks and mo<strong>the</strong>r-in-law to Susan Tedeschi;<br />
• Proposed statutory and <strong>re</strong>gulatory changes to <strong>the</strong> National Environmental Policy Act.<br />
As we look to 2008, it becomes clear that we a<strong>re</strong> moving closer to our vision for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h to<br />
become <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>-eminent environmental advocacy organization to work with <strong>the</strong> music<br />
community. As we continue to prosecute our first case against <strong>the</strong> National Park Service over <strong>the</strong><br />
Colorado River Management Plan, we a<strong>re</strong> al<strong>re</strong>ady looking towards potential litigation to challenge<br />
eco-prospectors in <strong>the</strong> NW Hawaiian Islands, snowmobiles in Yellowstone & Teton National Parks,<br />
communities applying pesticides to waterways without permits <strong>re</strong>qui<strong>re</strong>d by <strong>the</strong> Clean Water Act,<br />
and inadequate studies for <strong>the</strong> expansion of <strong>the</strong> Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site.<br />
In addition, we will continue to investigate several of <strong>the</strong> issues listed above as well as continue to<br />
solicit new issues from <strong>the</strong> music community. As we begin campaigns on various issues, we will<br />
seek to elevate <strong>the</strong>ir impo<strong>rt</strong>ance to <strong>the</strong> public by <strong>re</strong>aching out to members of <strong>the</strong> music industry to<br />
assist us in publicity and fundraising effo<strong>rt</strong>s.
Membership & Out<strong>re</strong>ach Accomplishments<br />
Once again in 2007, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h had a dedicated team of volunteers educating music fans across <strong>the</strong> United States<br />
at over 100 conce<strong>rt</strong>s and festivals. Our Internship Program, now in its third year, continues to be an impo<strong>rt</strong>ant pa<strong>rt</strong><br />
of our success. With a total of 7 Education and Out<strong>re</strong>ach interns, RtE pa<strong>rt</strong>icipated in mo<strong>re</strong> events around <strong>the</strong> country<br />
than o<strong>the</strong>rwise would have been possible.<br />
Our fou<strong>rt</strong>h year of operation was full of exciting oppo<strong>rt</strong>unities, accomplishments and new connections.<br />

Music Festival in Chicago and San Francisco, Jam Cruise,<br />
The Echo Project, and Langerado.<br />
This was a year of <strong>re</strong>aching out to new music communities. We we<strong>re</strong><br />
excited to be pa<strong>rt</strong> of Ozzfest and <strong>the</strong> Vans Warped Tour since<br />
those tours attract music fans of diffe<strong>re</strong>nt gen<strong>re</strong>s of music than we<br />
have <strong>re</strong>ached in <strong>the</strong> past. Educating music fans from a diversity of<br />
locations, demographics and age groups is impo<strong>rt</strong>ant to us so we try<br />
to pa<strong>rt</strong>ner with musicians and bands from diffe<strong>re</strong>nt gen<strong>re</strong>s. We’<strong>re</strong><br />
happy to say we have gained <strong>the</strong> <strong>re</strong>spect and suppo<strong>rt</strong> from over 50<br />
a<strong>rt</strong>ists in <strong>the</strong> four years RtE has been defending <strong>the</strong> planet.
2007annual <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong><br />
While <strong>the</strong> number of events RtE pa<strong>rt</strong>icipated in this year is slightly lower<br />
than in 2006, we we<strong>re</strong> able to sign up mo<strong>re</strong> new members and mo<strong>re</strong><br />
<strong>re</strong>newing members than ever befo<strong>re</strong>. Pa<strong>rt</strong> of our success in this<br />
a<strong>re</strong>a has to do with <strong>the</strong> suppo<strong>rt</strong> and generosity of Nugs.net with whom<br />
we worked to <strong>re</strong>lease Music for <strong>the</strong> Planet, a double CD filled with live<br />
tracks from bands like Widesp<strong>re</strong>ad Panic, The Grateful Dead, String<br />
Cheese Incident, Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws Band, and Phish. RtE <strong>re</strong>ceived<br />
100% of <strong>the</strong> profits from <strong>the</strong> <strong>re</strong>lease of this album.<br />
Over <strong>the</strong> past four years, our membership numbers have continued to<br />
inc<strong>re</strong>ase. We expect this t<strong>re</strong>nd to continue as we move into our fifth year<br />
of educating and inspiring music fans across <strong>the</strong> country to join with RtE<br />
in protecting natural <strong>re</strong>sources.<br />

Financial Repo<strong>rt</strong><br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h (RtE) continued to make prog<strong>re</strong>ss in its fou<strong>rt</strong>h year as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit<br />
organization. As a <strong>re</strong>sult of <strong>the</strong> generosity of our inc<strong>re</strong>asing base of existing and new members, donors,<br />
grantors, musicians, and corporate contributors, we ended <strong>the</strong> year in a position poised to inc<strong>re</strong>ase our focus<br />
on environmental litigation and <strong>the</strong> defending of impo<strong>rt</strong>ant environmental issues as well as embarking<br />
on a significant capacity building campaign. The Colorado River litigation and o<strong>the</strong>r environmental issue<br />
pursuits will engage significant po<strong>rt</strong>ions of our <strong>re</strong>sources in <strong>the</strong> upcoming year. Our commitment to this and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r issues has enabled our organization to attract members as <strong>re</strong>flected in <strong>the</strong> inc<strong>re</strong>ase in membership<br />
<strong>re</strong>venue, and corporate and private donors who a<strong>re</strong> inte<strong>re</strong>sted in contributing toward <strong>the</strong> mission-focused<br />
activities in which <strong>the</strong> organization engages and will play a vital role in <strong>the</strong> organization’s continued growth<br />
and vitality in <strong>the</strong> upcoming years.<br />
The organization will continue its capacity building goal in <strong>the</strong> upcoming year by employing a pa<strong>rt</strong> time<br />
Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor and a Development Assistant to move <strong>the</strong> organization closer to its financial and<br />
fundraising goals, necessary to inc<strong>re</strong>ase <strong>the</strong> program and education services that <strong>the</strong> organization provides.<br />
The addition of <strong>the</strong>se paid positions will utilize a fair po<strong>rt</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> organizations <strong>re</strong>sources in <strong>the</strong><br />
near futu<strong>re</strong>.<br />
In 2007, RtE raised approximately $125,000 in total income, a 16% inc<strong>re</strong>ase over <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year, primarily<br />
through inc<strong>re</strong>ases in membership dues and donations. This is a significant inc<strong>re</strong>ase in <strong>re</strong>venue from <strong>the</strong><br />
p<strong>re</strong>vious year, which will enable <strong>the</strong> organization to focus our effo<strong>rt</strong>s on our co<strong>re</strong> mission activities. The<br />
organization continues to improve its fundraising effo<strong>rt</strong>s through enhanced <strong>re</strong>lationships with musicians<br />
and <strong>the</strong> music industry, g<strong>re</strong>en and sustainable businesses and corporate donors, grantors, and special<br />
pa<strong>rt</strong>nerships and events that c<strong>re</strong>atively engage our membership, private donors, and <strong>the</strong> community in general.<br />
The addition of <strong>the</strong> pa<strong>rt</strong> time Development Di<strong>re</strong>ctor will also<br />
be ext<strong>re</strong>mely beneficial in obtaining <strong>the</strong> organizations fundraising<br />
effo<strong>rt</strong>s for <strong>the</strong> coming year.<br />
The majority of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h’s expenses <strong>re</strong>lated to Education and<br />
Program Services expenses with a focus on education of <strong>the</strong> public<br />
and of our members on <strong>the</strong> various environmental issues about<br />
which <strong>the</strong> music industry and our organization feel strongly.<br />
In addition, <strong>the</strong> organization incur<strong>re</strong>d programmatic expenses<br />
<strong>re</strong>lated to <strong>the</strong> litigation of environmental issues, most specifically<br />
<strong>the</strong> Colorado River Management Plan.<br />
<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h ended <strong>the</strong> year with approximately $30,750 in <strong>the</strong><br />
bank, an inc<strong>re</strong>ase of 16% from <strong>the</strong> p<strong>re</strong>vious year.<br />
The success that <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ea<strong>rt</strong>h continues to enjoy in its fou<strong>rt</strong>h year
2007annual <strong>re</strong>po<strong>rt</strong><br />
as a nonprofit organization highlights <strong>the</strong><br />
continued sacrifices and hard work that <strong>the</strong><br />
volunteer and paid staff, leadership positions,<br />
Board and Advisory Board members<br />
have made to ensu<strong>re</strong> <strong>the</strong> organization’s<br />
continued success and <strong>the</strong> committed<br />
and generous membership base, both of<br />
which continue to sustain <strong>the</strong> organization<br />
financially and o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />
