A few months ago we talked about Gabrielle Louise’s mission to get touring musicians to use biodiesel fuels while on the road. Now I am here to talk about her efforts to raise awareness about the Arkansas River.

What is going on with the Arkansas River you ask? According to the web site Save The Arkansas River, "The Lake County Commissioners declared an emergency on Feb. 13, 2008. The reason for this declaration was a build-up of underground water on the east side of Leadville. This water build-up has been rising steadily for years. Because of certain conditions, including the heavy snowpack this year, this action was taken to help protect the area, its residents and visitors." The problem is much larger than that paragraph can cover. Go to www.savethearkansasriver.org to get all the details.

Back to Gabrielle. She has written a song to help get the word out on the issues surrounding this environmental crisis. And she is offering the download for free on her web site. (Find it here.) And if your interested you can sign a petition to the powers that be here.

And in even more Gabby news she has also recorded a song for Willie Nelson’s Peace Research Institute. Read about that right here. Being noticed by the Red Headed Stranger can’t be a bad thing. Good job Gabby.
