Sarah McLachlan's selflessness and compassion are truly inspiring. In a bold move, instead of spending gobs of money and wasting precious resources on a typical music video for her 2003 song
World on Fire, she decided to make a difference. In the
video, footage of Sarah strumming on a guitar are interspersed with images and text outlining a typical video's production costs juxtaposed with the costs of, say, donating heifers and vegetable seeds to families in South Africa. At the end of the video, it is revealed that all $148,000 of the potential video costs were donated to
various charitable organizations around the world. The charities include environmental and social justice orgs alike, but all are admirable. Strum on, Sarah.
