SOS LIVE EARTH TODAY!

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.’

You may not have been able to fight the crowds to attend on of the many events that is circling the globe, but you can still do your part. Be aware, be informed, do your part, do justice to our children. Children inherit the earth, but what earth they will inherit is up to all of us as a global community.

Doing your part is not as hard as you thought, start with the little things…don't run the water while you brush your teeth, take your own bags to the grocery store, keep your appliances unplugged when not in use, don't turn on so many lights…turn off the lights when not in the room, plant more trees, recycle, re-use, carpool or use public transport when you can, etc… Leave your mark on the world, and make it a good one!

So join the movement today, fight global warming! You can be entertained and informed by watching the coverage right in your living room, or maybe you have joined one of the many Live Earth living room parties (a great way to conserve on electricity, but maybe not your beer)!
