Live Earth.

"Live Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis."

My family and I spent a good part of the evening watching Live Earth on television. Not only did we get to hear some pretty awesome music from Kelly Clarkson, Dave Matthews Band, Madonna and Bon Jovi (to name a few), but we also learned some interesting facts about Global Warming.

"The mission of the SOS campaign is to empower individuals to change their consumer behaviors and motivate corporations and political leaders to enact decisive measures to combat the climate crisis. The message of SOS is that everyone, everywhere can and must Answer the Call to solve the climate crisis."

Concerts played all day and all night long in eight different cities around the globe. New York, London, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, and Hamburg all had musicians and stars come out to spread the word about the SOS campaign.

Each venue was designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices.

The Live Earth website has a nifty calculator you can check out to see just how much you impact the climate and what you can do to improve any negative impact.
