Do Something and VH1

It is not everyday I watch VH1. It’s only been a couple of times in my entire lifetime where I stumbled onto the channel. To recall, last week while finishing up Sobuka related activities, I landed onto the channel.  I saw Jane Lynch walk across the isle to the stage with a dozen blond women dressed like her and walking along the isle. It kinda reminded me of the stint a famous rapper pulled off several years ago on MTV.

The VH1 show gave honor to an organization called Do Something (non-profit). Do Something’s mission is to get kids involved into helping others.  The organization, through the assistance of CEO Nancy Lubin, has been active throughout the United States and abroad by campaigning via the internet and forming strategic partnerships to get their message across, touching the lives of kids and adults.

The organization’s appearance on VH1 was the first time, I have heard of them. One thing that compelled me to write about it, was the story of Twenty-five year old Mark Rembert, of Wilmington, OH. Mark was honored for helping his community transition to a green economy after a large corporate employer pulled out in 2008. Since Mark launched his company back in 2008, his community has received 1.4 million dollars of direct green investment.

It is encouraging to see young people in our community making an impact and a difference to help our environment. This type of visibility will hopefully encourage other young people in our area to do the same. I leave by sharing a video of CEO, Nancy Lubin’s explanation of Do Something and why she choose a path to volunteer.
