Enrique Iglesias Charity Work, Events and Causes

Charity biography

Was interviewed by Latina Magazine in 2007, in which he responded to questions about his involvement in Live Earth:

Q. How did you get involved in the Live Earth concert?

I saw the documentary [An Inconvenient Truth] and wanted to get involved, so I had my manager make some calls. I was never a big Al Gore fan, but after the documentary I viewed him differently. He explained everything so well and it became obvious to me that there’s such a major environmental problem.

Q. How did that affect you personally?

What I got from it wasn’t like, “If you fly on private planes, stop.” It wasn’t about changing your whole lifestyle, but about the little things you can do—like not leaving your charger on after your cell phone is charged—that, if everyone started doing them, would make a substantial difference.
