2012annual report


President’s Message<br />

“Out of all those millions and millions of planets floating around <strong>the</strong>re in space, this<br />

is our planet, this is our little one, so we just got to be aware of it and take care of it.”<br />

– Paul McCartney<br />

It’s often been said that “it’s darkest before <strong>the</strong><br />

dawn” and never has that age-old adage been more<br />

appropriate to describe <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s road over <strong>the</strong><br />

past several years during a challenging economy. But<br />

from <strong>the</strong> dawn of 2012, we knew that <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> had<br />

not only survived <strong>the</strong> worst economy in a generation but<br />

was well on <strong>the</strong> road to recovery and success. In fact,<br />

2012 turned out to be one of our most successful years<br />

in our short nine-year history. Whe<strong>the</strong>r viewed from <strong>the</strong><br />

standpoint of program accomplishments and progress in<br />

environmental cases, concert dates worked in a year (our<br />

2nd highest year ever), new and renewing members, or<br />

partnerships with o<strong>the</strong>r organizations, 2012 was a year<br />

of tremendous growth and success for <strong>the</strong> organization.<br />

Nowhere was this organization’s success more evident<br />

than in <strong>the</strong> June 22, 2012 Federal Court victory in<br />

our long-standing litigation against <strong>the</strong> Bureau of Land<br />

Management (BLM) over a drilling plan for Colorado’s<br />

Roan Plateau – one of <strong>the</strong> last remaining wildernessquality<br />

lands in <strong>the</strong> state. As a primary basis for her<br />

decision to remand <strong>the</strong> case back to BLM for fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

study, Judge Marcia Krieger specifically cited to <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s 2005 argument to BLM that a communityapproved<br />

plan to restrict drilling to areas outside of <strong>the</strong><br />

areas in question was a viable and reasonable option<br />

that BLM had improperly failed to consider. Although <strong>the</strong><br />

organization has chalked up several key environmental<br />

victories and has been on <strong>the</strong> receiving end of favorable<br />

outcomes over our brief lifetime, this decision marked<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s first court victory!<br />

In addition to <strong>the</strong> victory on <strong>the</strong> Roan, some of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

highlights contained within this 2012 Annual Report are:<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> brought <strong>the</strong> third lawsuit in<br />

<strong>the</strong> organization’s history by joining with o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

conservation organizations to sue <strong>the</strong> National<br />

Park Service over <strong>the</strong> proposed Roseland to<br />

Susquehanna Power Line. This project would<br />

result in a massive power line super-structure<br />

being constructed through what is collectively <strong>the</strong><br />

most utilized unit in <strong>the</strong> National Park System in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>astern United States – <strong>the</strong> Delaware<br />

Water Gap National Recreation Area and across <strong>the</strong><br />

Appalachian National Scenic Trail.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> announced our first formal<br />

partnerships with national and regional<br />

organizations in which our organization provided<br />

public education, outreach, and citizen engagement<br />

campaigns on behalf of o<strong>the</strong>r organizations. This<br />

year, we addressed mountain top mining on behalf<br />

of <strong>Earth</strong>justice, and worked with Friends of<br />

Browns Canyon/The Wilderness Society on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir campaign to have Browns Canyon declared a<br />

new National Monument.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> seventh consecutive year, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

created compelling environmental programming at <strong>the</strong><br />

Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, with a series<br />

of artist interviews, panel discussions and musical<br />

performances on <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me of Social Change<br />

Through Music. In addition, for <strong>the</strong> third time in as<br />

many years, we hosted Green Screens Presented<br />

by <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>, a series of award-winning<br />

environmental films, in Bonnaroo’s Cinema Tent.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> had a presence at 192 concert dates<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> United States in 2012, working with<br />

such high-profile artists as My Morning Jacket,<br />

The Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws Band, Wilco, Allman<br />

Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Band and <strong>the</strong> Barenaked Ladies.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s volunteer legal and technical<br />

staff reviewed and/or worked on 13 separate,<br />

substantive issues and projects brought to our<br />

attention by <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> supporters in <strong>the</strong> music<br />

community.<br />

As this report demonstrates, 2012 was a year of<br />

tremendous progress, solidifying our place as a fixture in<br />

<strong>the</strong> music and environmental communities. With strong<br />

tailwinds at our back, I am enthusiastic about <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Earth</strong>’s potential to grow in new ways in 2013. Through<br />

our new programmatic partnerships with national<br />

organizations such as <strong>Earth</strong>justice and The Wilderness<br />

Society, we can continue to leverage our volunteer<br />

network and our brand in <strong>the</strong> music industry to raise


awareness of important environmental issues and became an<br />

even more-valued asset in <strong>the</strong> environmental community.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> remains committed to protecting <strong>the</strong> planet’s most<br />

threatened natural places, while continuing to educate, engage<br />

and inspire music fans to take action to help us create a sustainable<br />

and healthy planet. In a year that marked more environmental<br />

challenges to <strong>the</strong> planet and an election where candidates failed<br />

to directly address pressing environmental issues such as climate<br />

change, fracking, and mountain top removal mining, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

held firm in its commitment to highlight important environmental<br />

2012annual report<br />

issues and educate and inspire <strong>the</strong> public to take action. As we<br />

continue to move towards our 10th anniversary in 2014, our future<br />

has never been brighter or our mission more clear.<br />

On behalf of all of us at <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>, we thank you for your<br />

support, and hope that you will continue to join with us in 2013<br />

as we continue Defending <strong>the</strong> Planet One Beat at a Time.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>,<br />

Environmental Accomplishments<br />

We are proud to report that in 2012 <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s<br />

environmental advocacy and educational projects continued<br />

to expand, impacting environmental issues and <strong>the</strong> public in<br />

profound ways.<br />

Not only did we continue to prosecute our second lawsuit in federal<br />

court, but as a result we came away with our first federal court victory<br />

to protect Colorado’s Roan Plateau! Also, for <strong>the</strong> first time in our<br />

history, we expanded our program activities to specifically conduct two<br />

environmental education & citizen engagement campaigns on behalf of<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r organizations in a fee-for-service arrangement! Combined, <strong>the</strong>se<br />

two campaigns engaged and activated thousands of concert goers with<br />

significant and measurable outcomes. In addition, we initiated a third<br />

lawsuit in federal court, expanded our program to keep thousands of<br />

cellular telephones out of landfills, and continued to see <strong>the</strong> very real and<br />

positive results from our ongoing education and advocacy campaigns.<br />

The music community continued to embrace <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> by<br />

engaging us for <strong>the</strong> seventh time to conduct environmental education<br />

at Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN, <strong>the</strong> largest festival in <strong>the</strong> United<br />

States and for <strong>the</strong> fifth time at Summer Camp in Chillico<strong>the</strong>, IL. In<br />

addition to our annual work on <strong>the</strong> Bonnaroo Solar Stage, we once<br />

again headed up Green Screens Presented by <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>, an<br />

environmental film series, in <strong>the</strong> Cinema Tent.<br />

Throughout <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s experienced legal and<br />

technical team continued to move forward on several new issues,<br />

while continuing to research and investigate issues brought to us by<br />

<strong>the</strong> music community.<br />

On January 31, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> presented<br />

formal comments to <strong>the</strong> National Park Service to <strong>the</strong> Draft<br />

Kepner Middle School Urban Garden (Denver, CO) – April 2012<br />

Environmental Impact Statement for a proposed plan to<br />

construct new, 200-foot power line towers right through <strong>the</strong><br />

heart of three nationally significant areas: <strong>the</strong> New Jersey<br />

Highlands, <strong>the</strong> Delaware Water Gap National Recreation<br />

Area, and <strong>the</strong> Appalachian National Scenic Trail (a/k/a<br />

Roseland to Susquehanna Power Line). <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

became involved in this case at <strong>the</strong> suggestion of Railroad<br />

<strong>Earth</strong>’s Tim Carbone.<br />

On February 21, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> presented<br />

formal comments to <strong>the</strong> U.S. EPA regarding <strong>the</strong> draft (2013)<br />

General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Permit<br />

for Vessels (i.e., cruise ships). In our comments, we made<br />

suggestions for improvements to <strong>the</strong> draft permit, including asking<br />

that EPA take a harder look at certain discharges, that cruise ships<br />

be required to publish discharge monitoring reports, and that<br />

<strong>the</strong>re be greater transparency and education on <strong>the</strong> part of cruise<br />

lines vis-à-vis customers.<br />

On March 7, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> legal and technical<br />

staff submitted comments to <strong>the</strong> National Park Service on <strong>the</strong><br />

Notice of Intent to Prepare Supplemental Environmental<br />

Impact Statement for <strong>the</strong> Winter Use Plan, for Yellowstone<br />

National Park. Since 2002, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> has actively opposed all<br />

plans that have allowed for <strong>the</strong> continued use of snowmobiles in <strong>the</strong><br />

Parks, based on <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong> use of snowmobiles is both harmful<br />

to <strong>the</strong> environment and negatively impacts visitor experience.<br />

For <strong>the</strong> third time in four years, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> co-sponsored<br />

a community service project with <strong>the</strong> Revision International, a<br />

Denver-based nonprofit organization. With Revision, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

helped to expand a community garden at <strong>the</strong> Kepner Middle School,<br />

in Denver’s Westwood neighborhood. The garden was<br />

created to grow fresh, healthy and organic produce for<br />

<strong>the</strong> school and <strong>the</strong> community, which is considered a<br />

“food desert,” lacking easy-to-obtain local and organic<br />

vegetables and fruit. In New York, NY, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

celebrated <strong>Earth</strong> Day with a volunteer cleanup of<br />

historic Astoria Park.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> conducted<br />

cellular telephone recycling campaigns at various<br />

music festivals and during our Summer Education &<br />

Outreach Tour across <strong>the</strong> United States, resulting in<br />

<strong>the</strong> collection of over 2,500 cell phones. Participating<br />

festivals included Summer Camp, Del Fest,<br />

Meadowgrass, Wakarusa, Mountain Jam,<br />

Bonnaroo, Forecastle and <strong>Rock</strong>ygrass. These<br />

collection campaigns were conducted in partnership<br />

with Pace Butler and LiveNation/Musictoday.


2012annual report<br />

Browns Canyon, Colorado<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>, in collaboration with <strong>the</strong><br />

University of North Carolina at Greensboro, led a cell<br />

phone collection campaign, resulting in nearly 800 cell phones<br />

collected and being diverted from possible disposal in landfills.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> announced its first formal<br />

comprehensive collaboration to conduct public education and<br />

citizen engagement in a regional campaign on behalf of <strong>the</strong><br />

Friends of Browns Canyon and The Wilderness Society.<br />

During this summer-long campaign, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> volunteers<br />

engaged <strong>the</strong> public at over 50 concert dates in Colorado,<br />

educating <strong>the</strong>m about <strong>the</strong> need for permanent protection for<br />

Browns Canyon as a National Monument and having over<br />

1,500 people directly sign a petition to Senator Mark Udall<br />

supporting this issue.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> announced a partnership with<br />

<strong>Earth</strong>justice to conduct public education and citizen engagement<br />

on a national campaign, in conjunction with <strong>Earth</strong>justice’s<br />

Mountain Heroes photo petition drive. During this summer-long<br />

campaign, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> volunteers engaged <strong>the</strong> public at over<br />

90 concert dates throughout <strong>the</strong> United States, educating <strong>the</strong>m<br />

about <strong>the</strong> need to stop <strong>the</strong> devastatingly damaging practice<br />

known as Mountain Top Removal Mining. Over <strong>the</strong> course of<br />

<strong>the</strong> campaign, over 15,000 photo petitions were uploaded to <strong>the</strong><br />

Mountain Heroes website, which petitions were submitted to <strong>the</strong><br />

White House Council on Environmental Quality.<br />

2 On June 22, 2012, federal court Judge Marcia<br />

Krieger ruled that <strong>the</strong> Bureau of Land Management (BLM)<br />

didn’t follow protocol when it approved a plan for allowing<br />

oil and natural gas development on <strong>the</strong> biologically rich Roan<br />

Plateau in western Colorado, and specifically cited to <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s 2005 argument. This victory for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> and<br />

our conservation partners resulted in a remand of <strong>the</strong> drilling<br />

plan to BLM to review specifically a community alternative that<br />

would allow for well development and recovery of natural gas<br />

outside of <strong>the</strong> wilderness quality lands. This also marked <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s first litigation victory!<br />

At <strong>the</strong> Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> hosted daily interviews with musical performances<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Solar Stage on Social Change Through Music featuring<br />

Chad Stokes (Dispatch, State Radio), SOJA, Katie<br />

Herzig, Infamous Stringdusters, Rubblebucket, ALO, Hey<br />

Rosetta!, Red Baraat, Stooges Brass Band, Honey Island<br />

Swamp Band, Blind Pilot, The Deep Dark Woods and<br />

Bhakti. Additional participants in discussing how activists and


Environmental Accomplishments<br />

artists collaborate to bring about social change were: Ivan Neville<br />

(Dumpstaphunk) and Ayn Pivonka (Gulf Restoration Network),<br />

for a discussion about New Orleans environmental and social issues,<br />

and an interview with Dennis Casey and Bob Schmidt (Flogging<br />

Molly). Green Screens Presented by <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> drew<br />

standing-room-only crowds to <strong>the</strong> festival’s Cinema Tent each day and<br />

featured screenings of <strong>the</strong> Sundance award-winning film Chasing<br />

Ice, The Big Fix, The Island President, Last Call at <strong>the</strong> Oasis<br />

and #ReGeneration. Pre- and post-show programming featured Israel<br />

Nebeker (Blind Pilot), Jeff Orlowski, Ivan Neville, Ayn Pivonka,<br />

Bob Ferguson (Oxfam), Phillip Montgomery, Matt DeRoss,<br />

Ashley Hillis, David Whiteside (Tennessee Riverkeeper) and<br />

Lindsay Guetschow (Participant Media).<br />

On August 15, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> submitted formal<br />

comments to <strong>the</strong> National Park Service on <strong>the</strong> Supplemental<br />

Environmental Impact Statement for <strong>the</strong> Winter Use Plan for<br />

Yellowstone National Park, opposing <strong>the</strong> preferred alternative’s<br />

extensive snowmobile use, and advocating for <strong>the</strong> use of<br />

snowcoaches and an immediate reduction of snowmobile use. <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> firmly believes that snowmobile use is not compatible with<br />

<strong>the</strong> scenic, aes<strong>the</strong>tic and wildlife values of Yellowstone National<br />

Park, our nation’s first National Park.<br />

On October 15, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> and a coalition<br />

of conservation groups sued <strong>the</strong> National Park Service (NPS) in<br />

Federal Court over <strong>the</strong> proposed Roseland to Susquehanna Power<br />

Line. The suit against <strong>the</strong> NPS challenges <strong>the</strong> agency’s approval<br />

and environmental review of <strong>the</strong> 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission<br />

line through <strong>the</strong> Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Middle Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River, and<br />

Dennis Casey & Bob Schmidt (Flogging Molly) with RtE Executive<br />

Director Marc Ross<br />

Buckhorn Mountain Exploration Project<br />

<strong>the</strong> Appalachian National Scenic Trail (collectively, <strong>the</strong> “Parks”).<br />

Despite NPS’s governing mandate to protect <strong>the</strong> National Park<br />

System and to prevent impairment to park resources, <strong>the</strong> NPS has<br />

authorized a project that <strong>the</strong> agency acknowledges will have serious<br />

and enduring impacts on <strong>the</strong> Parks.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> wrapped up our ninth National and<br />

Regional Summer Education and Outreach Tours. The tours took<br />

place over a 21-week period, consisting of 121 events and 145<br />

concert dates.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> participated in Frack-Free Colorado,<br />

a public event to educate and engage <strong>the</strong> public on <strong>the</strong> issue of<br />

hydro-fracking, <strong>the</strong> controversial process used in conjunction with<br />

natural gas drilling. The downtown Denver rally featured Daryl<br />

Hannah, The Wallflowers’ Jakob Dylan and Rami Jaffee,<br />

Elephant Revival with Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon),<br />

Mariel Hemingway, race car driver and environmentalist Leilani<br />

Munter, and acclaimed author and ecologist Sandra Steingraber<br />

as well as o<strong>the</strong>r speakers from <strong>the</strong> activist and political communities.<br />

On December 6, 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> and its<br />

Plaintiff Partners filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction<br />

against <strong>the</strong> National Park Service in Federal Court to stop <strong>the</strong><br />

construction and pre-construction activities that had begun on<br />

segments of <strong>the</strong> Roseland to Susquehanna Power Line in New<br />

Jersey and Pennsylvania. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> argued that a preliminary<br />

injunction is needed to prevent damage that would occur to <strong>the</strong><br />

Parks before <strong>the</strong> court can decide <strong>the</strong> pending claims.


In addition to <strong>the</strong> formal legal and educational activities that<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> conducted in 2012, our legal and technical staff<br />

members reviewed or monitored <strong>the</strong> following issues:<br />

2012annual report<br />

Continued to monitor attempts by <strong>the</strong> U.S. Army to expand Fort<br />

Carson and <strong>the</strong> Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site near Colorado<br />

Springs, CO, without an adequate environmental review.<br />

Continued to monitor <strong>the</strong> Buckhorn Mountain Exploration<br />

Project, a proposed plan to significantly expand gold mining and<br />

exploration activities in North Central Washington State.<br />

Continued to conduct public education and citizen engagement<br />

for <strong>the</strong> continued cleanup of North Carolina’s Pigeon River, a<br />

waterway of importance to legendary guitarist Warren Haynes.<br />

For several years, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> legal and technical staff have<br />

been monitoring and commenting on <strong>the</strong> discharge permit for<br />

a paper mill to <strong>the</strong> Pigeon River, which mill has had repeated<br />

violations of <strong>the</strong> Clean Water Act.<br />

Continued to monitor <strong>the</strong> Scoping Process for <strong>the</strong> National Park<br />

Service’s Wild & Scenic designation for <strong>the</strong> Tuolumne River in<br />

Nor<strong>the</strong>rn California, an issue suggested by Hot Buttered Rum.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> suggestion of Jackson Browne, continued our support of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Plastic Pollution Coalition with a joint advocacy campaign<br />

to educate and advocate for reducing <strong>the</strong> use of single-use,<br />

disposable plastic products.<br />

Continued to monitor EPA’s decision to study <strong>the</strong> natural gas<br />

drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, in anticipation<br />

of future regulatory requirements, and encouraged <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong><br />

constituents to ask EPA to regulate <strong>the</strong> process long-suspected of<br />

causing environmental damage and water pollution.<br />

Continued to monitor 2011 Federal Guidance Document for <strong>the</strong><br />

determination and management of wetlands that come under <strong>the</strong><br />

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ federal jurisdiction and regulation.<br />

In reviewing our actions from 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> continues to<br />

demonstrate that it is <strong>the</strong> pre-eminent environmental advocacy<br />

organization to work with <strong>the</strong> music community. Not only do<br />

we effectively continue to prosecute important cases in federal<br />

court, but our track record of being an effective force grows as <strong>the</strong><br />

projects that we have opposed in support of <strong>the</strong> public interest (and<br />

educated thousands of concert goers to also take action and oppose)<br />

are withdrawn. As we look to 2013, we anticipate additional legal<br />

victories, environmental achievements, and new legal actions<br />

brought on behalf of <strong>the</strong> music community.<br />

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area


Membership & Outreach Accomplishments<br />

Throughout 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s dedicated teams of volunteers<br />

educated and interacted with music fans at over 165 concerts<br />

and festivals across <strong>the</strong> United States. This represented a 28%<br />

increase over 2011 in our core educational and outreach activities. The<br />

key factor in this dramatic increase was incorporating our new program<br />

activity -- public education and citizen engagement in partnership with<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r national and regional groups in a fee-for-service arrangement<br />

-- into our historical program activities. This growth also reflects <strong>the</strong><br />

overall improving economic conditions of <strong>the</strong> organization.<br />

As a result of our expanded activities, overall membership for <strong>the</strong><br />

year experienced slight gains over 2011, with a relative increase in<br />

membership dollars while maintaining a steady renewal rate comparable<br />

to 2011. Meanwhile, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> reached an estimated 1.2 million<br />

concert attendees, educated tens of thousands of people about critical<br />

environmental issues, and attracted new members to <strong>the</strong> cause.<br />

Our eighth year of <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s Internship Program proved once again<br />

that it is vital to <strong>the</strong> success of <strong>the</strong> organization. In connection with<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s new partnerships with <strong>Earth</strong>justice (nationally) and The<br />

Wilderness Society (regionally), we expanded our intern program and<br />

doubled <strong>the</strong> number of paid tour coordinators to lead <strong>the</strong>se campaigns.<br />

With a total of nine Education and Outreach interns, all working under<br />

<strong>the</strong> guidance and direction of our two Internship Tour Coordinator, <strong>Rock</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> was able to participate in more events around <strong>the</strong> country than<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rwise would have been possible using only regional teams.<br />

Overall, our year of operations was full of exciting new opportunities,<br />

accomplishments and connections, including <strong>the</strong> following notable<br />

achievements:<br />

121 events (145 concert dates) over five months, during which<br />

time we raised nearly $27,000, gained nearly 665 new members,<br />

and added nearly 2,900 new contacts to our mailing list;<br />

Partnered directly with <strong>the</strong> following bands and tours (among<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs) throughout <strong>the</strong> year:<br />

– Journey, Pat Benatar, and Loverboy (13 shows)<br />

– Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws Band (13 shows)<br />

– My Morning Jacket (9 shows)<br />

– Last Summer on <strong>Earth</strong> (Barenaked Ladies, Cracker, Big<br />

Head Todd & <strong>the</strong> Monsters, Blues Traveler) (8 shows)<br />

– Wilco (7 shows)<br />

– Allman Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Band (3 shows)<br />

Presented eco-oriented musician panels, cell phone recycling, and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r scheduled programs at high-profile music festivals including<br />

Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, DelFest, Forecastle, Mountain Jam,<br />

and <strong>Rock</strong>yGrass.<br />

Partnered directly with multiple venues and promoters, which<br />

enabled <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> to reach new audiences and to build a<br />

strong presence in <strong>the</strong> regional music communities:<br />

– Best Buy Theater at Times Square (New York, NY)<br />

– Bluebird Theater (Denver, CO)<br />

– Fillmore at Irving Plaza (New York, NY)<br />

– Fillmore Auditorium (Denver, CO)<br />

– Boulder Theater (Boulder, CO)<br />

– Ogden Theater (Denver, CO)<br />

– Wal<strong>the</strong>r Productions (DC & Baltimore, MD)<br />

Gained <strong>the</strong> support of over 845 new members<br />

and increased our constituent base to over 43,000<br />

people;<br />

Of <strong>the</strong> members whose memberships lapsed in<br />

2011, 16% renewed <strong>the</strong>ir memberships in 2012;<br />

Recruited over 1227 potential volunteers, from<br />

which we organized and trained over 100 volunteers<br />

nationwide;<br />

Raised nearly $64,000 in RtE memberships to<br />

support our project work and outreach programs;<br />

Volunteers donated over 10,000 hours of time to<br />

help advance RtE’s mission;<br />

Worked 167 events in 25 states, totaling 192<br />

concert dates;<br />

Completed our ninth Education and Outreach<br />

Summer Tour over a period of 21 weeks, working<br />

David Grisman Bluegrass Experience with RtE Regional Volunteer Coordinators<br />

MacKenzie Boroeren and Morgan Gantz


In addition to returning to <strong>the</strong> road with long-time music partners<br />

like <strong>the</strong> Dave Mat<strong>the</strong>ws Band, <strong>the</strong> Allman Bro<strong>the</strong>rs Band, and<br />

Barenaked Ladies, we were excited to receive invitations to<br />

be an environmental partner on <strong>the</strong> national tours by Wilco,<br />

Journey, and My Morning Jacket, fur<strong>the</strong>r diversifying <strong>the</strong> scope<br />

of music fans that we were able to reach in 2012.<br />

Educating music fans from diverse locations, demographics<br />

and age groups is important to us, so we try to partner with<br />

musicians and bands from different genres. We are happy to<br />

report we have gained respect and support from over 500 artists<br />

in <strong>the</strong> nine years RtE has been defending <strong>the</strong> planet.<br />

Largely due to <strong>the</strong> new partnerships as well as <strong>the</strong> improving<br />

economy, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> not only experienced our second<br />

busiest Education and Summer Outreach Tour in our history, but<br />

also witnessed an increase in individual charitable donations.<br />

To that end, <strong>the</strong>re was an increase in new members (up nearly<br />

2012annual report<br />

9% over 2011). Meanwhile, perhaps also a sign of <strong>the</strong> economic<br />

times, our past supporters dug deep, renewing memberships at<br />

a rate slightly higher than 2011 (at 16%).<br />

Unfortunately, as we saw in 2011 and despite <strong>the</strong> gains in new<br />

members and our renewals remaining steady, for a second year<br />

in a row our active membership stayed below <strong>the</strong> 1,800 member<br />

threshold – a threshold we first crossed in 2007. Part of this decline<br />

in active membership is likely due to <strong>the</strong> refocus of <strong>the</strong> organization<br />

on fulfilling contractual obligations regarding public education and<br />

citizen engagement and also in part due to a lagging economy in<br />

2009-2011. As noted, <strong>the</strong>re are however, positive signs as in 2012,<br />

<strong>the</strong> organization gained <strong>the</strong> most new and renewing members<br />

that it had since 2009. As <strong>the</strong> economy continues to show signs<br />

Financial Report<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> had a strong ninth year as a 501(c)(3) taxexempt<br />

organization. In fact, after a few years of declining<br />

or flat finances, 2012 marked a return to modest growth for<br />

<strong>the</strong> organization in several key areas. The organization experienced<br />

greater income in 2012 compared to both budget and <strong>the</strong> previous<br />

year, attributable in large part to <strong>the</strong> initiation of a new program<br />

involving partnerships with o<strong>the</strong>r nonprofit organizations that<br />

compensated us for our services. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> successfully<br />

fulfilled two contracts this year with Friends of Browns Canyon/The<br />

Wilderness Society and with <strong>Earth</strong>justice, in which over <strong>the</strong> course<br />

of five months, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> volunteers conducted extensive<br />

education, outreach and citizen activation on behalf of <strong>the</strong>se<br />

organizations. <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> plans to grow this program in 2013,<br />

increasing <strong>the</strong> fees charged for our services, as well as expanding<br />

<strong>the</strong> number of partnerships contracted.<br />

2012 served as a test year for this new program, challenging our<br />

volunteers at <strong>the</strong> tables to educate people at concerts on <strong>the</strong><br />

issues of our clients (ga<strong>the</strong>ring signatures/photos for petitions),<br />

while continuing to solicit memberships and donations for <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Earth</strong>. Although <strong>the</strong>re was a moderate increase in <strong>the</strong> number of<br />

concert dates worked in 2012 as a result of <strong>the</strong> new partnerships,<br />

our membership numbers remained<br />

relatively stable with 2011. A slight<br />

increase in members enabled us to<br />

meet our budgeted membership income<br />

for <strong>the</strong> year and outperform 2011.<br />

Emerging from a challenging year in 2011, <strong>the</strong> organization utilized<br />

<strong>the</strong> same cost containment measures it had used in 2010 and 2011.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> started off 2012 with limited staff – paid staff consisted<br />

of a part-time office manager and a full-time Executive Director.<br />

However, after recognizing strong income in <strong>the</strong> First Quarter of <strong>the</strong><br />

year, <strong>the</strong> organization returned to its full staffing complement of<br />

two, full-time paid employees, and returned <strong>the</strong> Executive Director’s<br />

compensation to pre-recessionary (2009) levels. As we look forward<br />

to 2013, <strong>the</strong> organization is planning to increase <strong>the</strong> number of paid<br />

staff by adding our first Program Director to support <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong>’s<br />

Education & Outreach program and partnerships.<br />

In 2012, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> raised approximately $130,000 in total<br />

revenue, a 47.8% increase over <strong>the</strong> previous year and just short<br />

of our budget at 94.2% of budget. Along with <strong>the</strong> organization’s<br />

foundation of generous individual membership support, <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Earth</strong>’s new partnership program truly helped sustain <strong>the</strong> financial<br />

stability of <strong>the</strong> organization in 2012 and has given us great<br />

confidence that 2013 will be a prosperous year for us.<br />

<strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> ended 2012 with approximately $35,000 in <strong>the</strong><br />

bank (an increase of about $15,000 over <strong>the</strong> previous year’s<br />

The greatest challenge for <strong>the</strong><br />

organization in 2012 was in <strong>the</strong> area<br />

of general donations (corporate and<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rwise), coming in much lower<br />

than budget, but still appreciably<br />

higher than in 2011. Throughout <strong>the</strong><br />

year, our development team continued<br />

to submit a steady stream of grant<br />

proposals, and in <strong>the</strong> Fourth Quarter of<br />

<strong>the</strong> year we were rewarded with grant<br />

notifications from several foundations<br />

(including <strong>the</strong> Turner and Wolcott<br />

Family Foundations and Patagonia).<br />

These grants increased grant funding<br />

over our budgeted goals and 2011<br />

levels. Meanwhile, auction and<br />

special event revenue also increased<br />

modestly over <strong>the</strong> previous year,<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r demonstrating a positive turn<br />

in <strong>the</strong> overall economic conditions.<br />

RtE Summer Tour Coordinator Colin Robinson and volunteer Danielle Duni


end-of-year balance), and payables of<br />

$5,250 (an $1,800 increase from previous<br />

year – mostly due to <strong>the</strong> increase in<br />

monthly payroll). The organization<br />

averaged around $25,000 cash in <strong>the</strong> bank<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> entire year of 2012, a clear<br />

improvement over <strong>the</strong> past few years.<br />

The success that <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Earth</strong> continues<br />

to enjoy in its ninth year as a nonprofit<br />

organization reflects <strong>the</strong> continued hard<br />

work, dedication and sacrifices made by<br />

<strong>the</strong> organization’s volunteers, paid staff,<br />

Board and Advisory Board members, and<br />

its committed and generous membership<br />

base, all of which continue to sustain <strong>the</strong><br />

organization on multiple levels.<br />
