It’s Linkin Park week here at MTV Act! Well, not officially, but the band is doing so many cool things that we couldn’t fit them into a single article. On Tuesday, we talked about their new album LIVING THINGS and their environmentally friendly tour. But the band cares about all living things, so today we’re focusing on what they’re doing for people in need. Ready for a little video essay?! Essays aren’t normally fun, but this one will be! WE PROMISE.
Linkin Park started Music For Relief following 2004’s devastating Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. After witnessing the devastation on the news, they called on their friends and fans to donate to disaster relief. Since then, the organization has raised over 5 million dollars and helped survivors of natural disasters all around the world. The band also donates a dollar from every ticket sale to planting a tree. In 7 years, they’ve planted a million trees!
