Aveda kicked off its 2007 Earth Month campaign on April 11th with the "Dying for a Drink" press event, which was held at the Discovery Center for Riverhouse in New York City. "Being a passionate environmentalist, I really respect the efforts Aveda takes to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility," says Josh Lucas, actor and co-host of the event. "I am happy to lend my support to their Earth Month campaign and to hopefully motivate people to take action for clean water rights." Aveda's goal was to raise awareness and $1.8 million for clean water organizations through Earth Month projects, including a limited-edition Light the Way candle and a text message campaign in which customers texted the words "clean water" to a number, and the messages were tallied and presented to the United Nations.
