Our Saturday was spent by watching Live Earth Concert. Earlier, When I began watching it, my intention was to just enjoy the awesome singers; I love Jon Bon Jovi, Police, Akon, Keith Urban and John Mayor and all others. .But as time passed by, listening to the facts and knowing how global warming is affecting us and going to affect future generations, I took the pledge to go green! In my blog, I have taken the facts about the event, link to the participating bands and other tools. Further, I was wondering why the Live Concert was not organized in India. This made me question what India is doing for going green. Thus, I have also collected facts on how India is going about recycling and other steps to go green.
Some facts about the Live Earth concert
Live Earth was a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series which took place on 7/7/07 that brought together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis. Live Earth reached this worldwide audience through an unprecedented global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.

Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth. Live Earth was founded by Kevin Wall, the Worldwide Executive Producer of Live 8, an event that brought together one of the largest audiences in history to combat poverty. Wall formed a partnership with Al Gore and the Alliance for Climate Protection to ensure that Live Earth inspires behavioral changes long after 7/7/07.
Live Earth staged official concerts at Giants Stadium in New York; Wembley Stadium in London; Aussie Stadium in Sydney; Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro; the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg; Makuhari Messe in Tokyo; the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai; and HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg.
