We asked Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington what they’d miss most without power and while we were kinda hoping one of them would say something like, “underwater basket weaving,” but their answers were sooooo sweet as is.

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. On Tuesday, we talked about their new album LIVING THINGS and their environmentally friendly tour. But the band cares about all living things, so today we’re focusing on what they’re doing for people in need. Ready for a little video essay?! Essays aren’t normally fun, but this one will be! WE PROMISE.

Summertime is finally here! ‘Tis the season for trips to the beach and forgetting about your cold, wintery ex. If, like everyone else in the world, Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” has become your official breakup anthem and you’ve listened to the original and every remix on YouTube an inappropriate number of times in the past few months, you’ll be happy to know we’ve found another!

Electricity is something a lot of us take for granted. I MEAN, you’re using it now to read this article! Globally, one in five people are living without energy, and this leads to a bunch of strife, like shoddy access to healthcare and lack of education. Can you imagine cooking without electricity? 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.

Ian Somerhalder had a big day yesterday! The “Vampire Diaries” heartthrob met with President Barack Obama, and while the star sounded starstruck himself, it appears as if the two did some good talking about some important issues.

Have you noticed that, every few years, things that were uncool suddenly become cool again? Glasses. Lindsay Lohan. High-waisted everything. When I was in high school, boys with bicycles got no action. But things have changed. Today, they can play the “green card” (the imaginary kind that has to do with recycling and environmental stuff) and be worshiped as sensitive environmentalists rather than ridiculed as carless losers. Biking is so in right now -- take Liam Hemsworth (and Miley Cyrus), Carey Hart (and P!nk), and The Wanted's latest excursions.

What are your summer plans? For thirteen Dartmouth students, the summer months are going to consist traveling across the nation in a veggie-powered green bus to teach people about how to help take care of the environment at a grassroots level. This is the eighth year Dartmouth’s Big Green Bus is hitting the road, and we chatted with crew member Sam Parker so she could tell us more about this cool earth-friendly endeavor.

Momtrepreneur Jessica Alba is making way more than a baby bump of an impact in the business world. In the June issue of Marie Claire, the mother of two and "Spy Kids 4" star graces the cover and opens up about her huge business venture, The Honest Company. Speaking of being honest... is she looking B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L or what?!

We eat every day, but this Saturday is special when it comes to all things tasty and yummy: it’s Food Revolution Day! It’s a day to “stand up for real food,” like healthy food, food without all kinds of cray fillers and additives. Hot British chef Jamie Oliver is out there teaching us to eat better and spreading the word about this day. Why is it a concern of his?
