Chanco Brothers kicks the week off with Mario Mondays. The Last Monday of June, we decided to switch up the routine to Meatless Mondays. A program from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a simple requirement of not eating meat on Monday that means no pork, chicken, or beef in case we even try to argue. We did hear that eating green and staying away from meat keeps you free from having hangovers. We are also not doing this as rumored due to age concerns. We are doing it simply for personal health reasons which are self explanatory and for the environment. The water consumption of livestock in contrast to grains or vegetables is unbalanced. It takes more than 2,000 gallons of water per pound of beef while tofu only takes about 200 gallons of water. In terms of fossil fuel, it takes 40 calories per pound of beef while it only takes 2.2 calories for a pound of plant based protein. Hopefully the recent ranking of the US in math skills will not affect this comparison. Only in Iran can this kind of counting be taken into consideration. We need to do our share and we need to do it now. One day a week is a start, Monday always sets the tone so let’s just give it a chance to make a difference. Chanco Brothers are not turning into vegetarians but we want to eat tomorrow that’s why we are starting today. www.meatlessmondays.comMeatless Mondays

Michael Jackson - Earth Song
Chanco Brothers have listened and watched Michael Jackson entertain the world with his talents. But even as far back as 1985 when together with Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, and a long roster of certified stars in the music industry they recorded "We are the World" for the benefit of African foundations. This helped relief famine and disease victims particularly in Ethiopia. No matter what decade Michael cared and loved the world and its people. He had a heart that was for the people. We overheard people asking why he is in debt? The answer is probably why not? He has style, grace, class and elegance for all the material riches and yet he will still share to the world. A more recent video that was not released in the US. But topped the UK charts was "Earth Song". 
This was back in 1996 when we just started to open our eyes to the different environmental issues. The lyrics start off with what about sunrise and what about rain? Which is so timely as a lot of regions in the world including our own California is experiencing drought. This is from a man that has recently left us in body but not in spirit. The Chanco Brothers with the technology of You Tube wants to share this video that it may inspire us as to do our share in saving the world as Michael gave us an insight if we dont do our part.

R.I.P - Michael Jackson
The Chanco Brothers are grieving for the lost of an Enigma that was and forever will be Michael Jackson. A brain surgeon would surely not have a hard time finding the imprints Michael Jackson left on the world. Whether it be a dancing Michael to the tune of Beat It, a MTV Video of Thriller, or a guy in a white suit holding his crotch that vision is imprinted permanently to skulls of the millions or more likely billions of people around the world. He was the catalyst for singers and entertainers to chase dreams and capture them even in his youth. He contributed and conspired to shape the current music industry to its current levels. The word super star is only acceptable to define him in his early years, he was simply unstoppable. The universe was not made big enough for Michael Jackson. The Past, the Present, and even the Future are all thankful for having Michael as a part of our lives. 
LAX with GMA
Chanco Brothers had the pleasure of joining the current President of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for Breakfast in Los Angeles. Upon her arrival people were shouting the letters GMA and all the brothers could muster was can you please spell that again? There were some protesters which any political leader in the free world would always be familiar with and should just take it liberally. We do not hate but of course we would judge as the person in question should reflect the best interest of the Filipino People. The main agenda was of course economic recovery and how she as a President was able to swing economic growth even on the current economic situation. She pointed that America is poised for an economic come back in March and stumbled the words a bit as she may have questioned the truth on the prepared speech she was reading. This she pointed guarantees the economic growth of the Philippines as both economies are directly connected. She acknowledged and complemented the help of the Filipinos in America as it contributed to 75% of the remittances to the country. No mention of the 2010 elections was said at the breakfast. But whispers around the room abounded of a Madame Prime Minister, a title that is highly questionable and debatable. Chanco Brothers are not poised to agree or disagree at the moment. Her intentions at the breakfast were clear and concise that she wants to a leave a legacy of economic growth for the country as a President. The FILUSA movement pointed that the Philippines had the biggest economic growth in the past 30 years under her Presidency which if true deserves extreme gratitude. Chanco Brothers want the best for the Philippines and hopefully she is poised to deliver that at the moment. When 2010 comes the Chanco Brothers intends to see an election for the next leader that can carry the country to even more prosperity as Filipinos we will keep doing our share in different parts of the globe. Mabuhay, Filipinos will define the coming new decade with our hearts and minds towards a better Philippines.
Recycle, Reduce, Reuse, and Ralphs
Chanco Brothers are not fans of recycling. New and Fresh is always better. We get bored and move on. But for shopping bags its always a good choice to recycle. Ralphs is not giving out Birkin or Louie bags yet the recyclable bags they have emit a sense of style. The style that you can proudly say out loud that I care to Recycle, to Reduce, and to Reuse. If you want to get the right look then this bags are more than just a recessionista trying to recycle. The Ralph bags define how deeply you care about the environment. Small things can mean big if we all put our share in recycling.
Hummer Horror
Hummer horror happens whenever you try to fill this truck with gas. Just give it a couple hours with your right foot on the pedal and behold the horror of an empty tank of gas. Chanco Brothers wont deny the fact that this gas guzzler has been used often by the family. Seating on the driver seat makes you confident enough to run over cars during LA rush hours. But that is not an excuse and is completly enviroment unfriendly. Driving a Hummer is not cool, it just shows how much you dont care about our environment. Hummers are best not driven. GM has apparently sold the Hummer division to a Chinese company. Please note it was not the Chanco Brothers. 
Tow Away Zone
Chanco Brother Joey was running around Austin, Texas when this sign slammed on his face. Hopefully the towing company is not Hollywood Tow.
Blood Save Lifes
Chanco Brothers are not needle fans. Blood is not a sight that we are passionate about. We love clothes and cars. The thought of blood sends alarm signals to our brain. It triggers a protective barrier of something going wrong. But for millions of people around the world and in even our own neighborhoods the need for blood is urgent. Blood Banks have been in a recession longer than our financial banks. The blood supply to help the ill and dying is low. On June 14th, we celebrate World Blood Donor Day. Lets make the time to voluntarily donate blood. Chanco Brothers have noted that one unit of blood would save three lives. Go to http://www.wbdd.org/ or check your local red cross
Nitrogen My Tires
Chanco Brothers are not just gonna blow air up arguing about the benefits of nitrogen on tires. Majority of California dealers including the California Air Resources Board are all favor on the use of nitrogen in tires. Fuel savings and 
tire life are simple positive factors in its favor. The cost and availability has gone down. Check http://www.getnitrogen.org/ and try to make that difference. Check your tir
e pressure regularly.
