Live Earth

Yes all very worthy and in a good cause.
Is it gonna change anything? probably not.

Pop stars jetting in to play, huge stadiums lit up like Christmas
trees, hundreds of thousands of people who I'm guessing haven't
walked to the concerts. Millions of TV viewers all staying up
with TV and lights on watching it.

Hasn't helped much so far has it.

Surely if these overpaid stars and their mega rich record companies
cared they should give all the profits of their next years worth of
releases and tours to the campaign.
Bob Geldof's original idea of Band Aid was worthy, but a lot of the bands
and singers on view just see it as another publicity opportunity.

Give your money to Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, The Amazon
conservation team, Oxfam etc instead, refuse to buy products from
countries that profit from deforestation.
Hit the polluters where it hurts .. in the pocket.
