Was Live Earth True to it’s Message

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The message was Keep it Green. But were the Concerts True to the Message?

The Event was held at 7 Locations throughout the world. Just to put together regular Concerts is hard enough, now to make sure that they were kept Green must have been logistical nightmare. “At all seven locations, wind and solar energy was purchased from local utilities to offset the energy demand. Bio-fuel was used to power on-site generators for the shows at New Jersey’s Giants Stadium, London’s Wembley Stadium, and at Rio’s Copacabana Beach, which, with some 400,000 revelers, drew the event’s biggest audience. Energy-efficient LED’s were used for stage lighting. Plywood normally used for ground cover and tent-flooring was replaced with mats made from reusable composite materials. Carbon credits will eventually be bought to offset the air travel of event staff and performers.”

If the message got through it will all have been worth it.
