Did any of you watch some of the Live Earth "The Concerts for Climate Crisis" last weekend? The few hours that I watched were incredible. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Live Earth was a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 brought together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis. Even though the event is over, you can still watch performances of individual artists on the web. Just go to http://liveearth.msn.com/artists.
At the main Live Earth website, http://www.liveearth.org, you can also find a lot of information about how you can participate in confronting the planet's climate crisis. Try visiting the Live Earth Climate Crisis Tools & News page. One of the issues I read about on the site was that old laptop computers are very energy inefficient. By upgrading to a more efficient laptop computer, and bringing your old laptop to an electronic products recycling program, you can make a real difference. In fact, many of the big computer manufacturers have their own recycling programs and also offer refurbished computers. In case you are thinking about getting rid of your computer(s), here are links to a few such manufacturers and their recycling programs:
And be sure to take the Live Earth pledge and commit to taking action against the climate crisis. Find out more here, http://liveearthpledge.org/answer_the_call.php
