LIVE EARTH

SAVE THE WORLD!!!
.

Well that's the message that some people have been trying to get out for some years now (Including Al Gore in "An Inconvenient Truth,) but it seems that some people respond more adequately to music, hence we have concerts called LIVE EARTH (much like Live Aid and Live8) as part of the "The Save our Selves campaign [which] was founded by Kevin Wall, who won an Emmy as Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8." [2]
.

You can read about it more on CNN [1] and Washingtonpost.com [2]. It's been around the news and for good reason. Yes indeed, we are killing the planet (perhaps to save our own necks or make them more comfortable, but that doesn't change the fact that we are SCREWING UP)
.

Brief summary of the notes: the concerts will take place all around the globe during July 7 in an attempt to reach and audience of 2 billion. "The concerts mark the start of a new campaign called Save Our Selves, The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis." [1] "Proceeds will create a foundation to combat climate change led by The Alliance for Climate Protection, which is chaired by former Vice President Al Gore." [1] It is designed as a mass persuasion exercise and will cover cities world wide including, perhaps, Antarctica. [2] Many bands are joining the cause and modifying their agendas to participate including: RHCP, Foo Fighters, Keane, Fall Out Boy, AFI and more. [2]
.

Most importantly, if you wish to enjoy the music, "The concerts will be streamed by MSN, the Microsoft Internet portal, and broadcast by NBC. The satellite radio groups Sirius and XM will feature the shows." [2]
