With a little help from his friends, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is throwing a party and you're invited! (unless of course you reside in Canada... I'm a little bit disappointed about this but I'm going to chalk it up to Canadians being more socially and environmentally aware than our neighbours...) Live Earth will be happening on 07-07-07 and will feature 07 concerts across 07 continents. Here's an excerpt from a press release:
"Live Earth will use the global reach of music to engage people on a mass scale to combat our climate crisis. Live Earth will bring together more than 150 of the world's top musicians for 24-hours of music from 7 concerts across all 7 continents. Live Earth will bring together an audience of more than 2 billion at the concerts and through television, radio, film, and the Internet. That audience, and the proceeds from the event, will create the foundation for a new, multi-year global effort to combat the climate crisis led by Vice President Al Gore. Kevin Wall, Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8, is producing Live Earth."
And if you're still not convinced Global Warming is a real and immediate concern, please take a look here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Oh, and WAKE THE F$%K UP!!!
