Pledging for Change

Serving a Community of Earth Wise Organizations and Consumers

DAB radio station Passion for the Planet has been chosen for the second year running to be the exclusive UK media partner for the Fes Festival of World Spiritual Music in Morocco.

The Festival, in its 15th year, takes place from 29th May to the 8th June in the ancient city of Fes.

This partnership is unique for both the Fes Festival and Passion for the Planet. Passion for the Planet is the only radio station in the UK to focus on spirituality, the environment, health, personal development and global understanding. It is also the only radio station in the UK to play World Music as part of its core output introducing its audience to musicians from around the world.

Passion for the Planet will be visiting the festival to record interviews with some of the Fes Forum speakers, for broadcast later this year.

“The Fes Festival is a magical event – music from all over the world in stunning settings,” says Passion for the Planet’s managing Director Chantal Cooke. “Just imagine listening to music as the sun sets, surrounded by the majesty of the Bab Makina palace courtyard, or dancing with Sufi mystics by candlelight in the early hours, or sitting in the shade of an ancient oak tree listening to leading thinkers of the 21st century, and then indulging in a tasty tagine lunch in the hustle and bustle of the Fes medina, chatting with locals and soaking up the sounds and smells of the souks. This is the experience we hope to bring to our listeners.”

• Chantal Cooke from Passion for the Planet is available for interview/comment and can be contacted on 020 8544 0091 / 07788 184 649 Chantal@passionfortheplanet.com

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet



Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
