SWITCH GREEN: Sting

Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, author, and activist, Sting is one of the world’s most distinctive artists. Throughout his illustrious career both with The Police and as a solo artist, he has sold 100 million albums, received numerous accolades including 17 GRAMMY Awards® and has been inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

His most recent album, My Songs, features contemporary interpretations of his most celebrated hits; it spawned a celebrated world tour of the same name, as well as a Las Vegas residency set to open next year.

Sting’s support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International, and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect both the world’s rainforests and the indigenous people living there.
