For weeks now the TV has been advertising this great music concert , with fantastic music stars, to promote our world in crisis. Al Gore is at the fore front of it. A great cause this going green. But has no one else asked the question on how much energy it takes to put all the music stars together? How much power does it take to plug in the sound systems, guitars, microphones..... and for all these places all over the
world. And not to mention the media coverage it will receive. As I sat watching yet another plug on TV for this " SOS" "Live Earth concert" I could not help but think about all this! I see
other ads coming forth telling us to save energy by changing our light bulbs, and recycling, and driving environmentally friendly cars, or taking the bus, and Go green world. I mean really. So this message that Gore is trying to get across is a great one, I feel he is going about all wrong.With all these concerts all across the world you and I know that energy is not being saved one bit. Am I the only one to think about this? Am I totally out to lunch here thinking that all this effort and energy is so not the right way to grab peoples attention? I find it so much an opposite of what the world( Al Gore ) is trying to prove. I'm all in favor of going green. There has to be a better ,more energy efficient way to getting that message across.

Ha! I thought about that, too. I heard some one say that it's like having a 12 course dinner with a diet coke. :)
Good job...Andrew, I agree with both of you!!
I think that before change can come, there has to come awareness. This event will bring that. The more people that become involved in the fight against global warming, the greater impact we can have on reversing it.
I was going to say the same thing as my mom, it's a small price to pay for all the awareness and information it will bring to the masses of people. Even if a small portion of the people go home and try to make a different it will be well worth it!
