The Radioactives to perform at Sun Day, September 21

Have you heard of Sun Day? It's a nationwide series of events held on the Autumn Equinox--Sunday, September 21—celebrating the incredible progress  clean energy has made in recent years.

​Pause for a quick Did you know? segment!

​Did you know that...

• The US installed 50 gigawatts of solar in 2024, accounting for a whopping 84% of all new energy capacity? That's enough to power 8.5 million households. And it's because solar has gotten super cheap. 
​
Or that...
• Battery storage costs have fallen 40% in the last year alone? 

It's pretty incredible, and definitely cause for celebration. My band The Radioactives (fronted by my Eco Soul bro Will Hammond, Jr) will be headlining the San Leandro Sun Day event, which has a lot of fun stuff going on in addition to music. We will of course be performing (I'm Your) Heat Pump, (Our Love Is) Geothermal, and—hot of the presses--I Like Flowers! The deets:

Mike and Will appear on Everyday Climate Champions podcast

This summer Will Hammond and I sat down with host Sean Mendelson for the Everyday Climate Champions podcast to discuss all things Eco Soul. The episode is about 17 minutes long. Check it out! 

Almost here! I Like Flowers music video

After a great shoot in late July with our team of Berkeley High student videographers, the I Like Flowers music video is in post-production, and expected to be completed this month. In case you missed it, you should be able to see my updates to donors (including some nice pics of the shoot) here. 

We'll be hosting a world premiere event this fall—stay tuned!

My own feelings about social media are similar to this sloth's. We both recognize that it's an inescapable part of today's communications environment, but we try not to get too caught up in it.
