It’s Linkin Park week here at MTV Act! Well, not officially, but the band is doing so many cool things that we couldn’t fit them into a single article.

WE PROMISE.

Or going to a health clinic or school without light? 1.3 billion people are living this way, everyday. Linkin Park is trying to stop all this no electricity insanity.

Leonardo DiCaprio may have died in the ocean at the end of "Titanic" (well, okay, his character Jack Dawson did), but that doesn’t mean Leo holds any ill will toward the ocean. In fact, he cares about it a lot, plus its many inhabitants, which is why he’s trying to help sharks.
