Artist Profile
Continued from Part 1 (The Day To Day)
O'Keefe is as well known in environmental circles as he is in musicians' circles. His inner music naturally led him to an appreciation of songbirds, which have inspired both his music and his activism. In 1998, O'Keefe founded the Songbird Foundation (www.songbird.org), which seeks to protect songbirds being destroyed by deforestation caused by aggressive sun-grown coffee practices in Latin America. The Foundation educates and encourages coffee-drinkers to drink sustainably grown coffee rather than sun-grown coffee. Sustainably grown coffee is shade grown, organic, and fair-traded.
