Live Earth Concert has no recycling and the performers all show up in Limos or land Jet's at nearby Teterboro
If they are all about the environment, why so very few cans for recycled bottles, cans, paper, etc?
Why are the performers showing up in limos and BIG jets at the nearby airport, rather than a taxi or commercial jet service like American or Delta?
Answer:
Well wake up people, isn't this evidence enough that recycling and environmental protection (which was a good thing at first) has turned into the biggest scam in earth's history!
Don't fall for these fraudsters, they are unable to produce or repair anything, therefore, to get money they squeeze it out of the gullible masses who are stupid enough to believe in their lies (such as global warming etc.) and get rich with it. You people are the ones who give it to them and with this they gain more power every time. Just ignore them from now on, hoping this money-making scam will disappear as fast as it came.
The same reason why all of the hip, environmentally "friendly" people who drive expensive gas guzzling Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes SUVs shop at Whole Foods.
THEY'RE HYPOCRITES!!!
It's the same excuse Al Gore gets."they're creating awareness so its worth it." Of course when they all return to their regular concert tours next week in the stretch Hummers the only people watching will be too doped up to remember what they preached about this weekend.
Because the message is for US, not them. The elite are exempt. WE must do what they want to perpetuate their lifestyle. Nothing ever changes.
Hello naysayers
Do your research!
The goal of Al Gore's continent-spanning Live Earth concerts on July 7 — which feature an all-star lineup including Madonna, James Blunt, and Beastie Boys — is to raise awareness about global warming. But as the event nears, organizers are pouring their energy into making sure the fans (approximately 2 billion are slated to attend), musicians, and entourages descending on the worldwide venues won't turn Live Earth into a man-made environmental disaster.
''We've looked at everything from where their energy originates to the cups and the utensils they use,'' says Live Earth's founder, Kevin Wall. Each show is expected to consume an average of 20 megawatt-hours of energy, so Live Earth has some crunchy solutions: All tickets are printed on recycled paper, nearby wind and solar power sources will fuel sets by Bon Jovi (New Jersey) and Rihanna (Tokyo), and on-site generators that run on clean fuel will be placed in Rio de Janeiro for singers like Lenny Kravitz and Macy Gray.
Other artists will also fly long distances to perform (Shakira and Snoop Dogg, for example, will jet to Germany), so Live Earth is paying for carbon offsets (e.g., planting trees) to remove an equivalent amount of harmful gases from the atmosphere. The event's environmental director, John Rego, notes that more than half of an average concert's greenhouse emissions result from the audience's transportation — so he's encouraging fans to use mass transit or to carpool. And Blunt, who'll play in London alongside Duran Duran and Foo Fighters, says it's what fans do after the event that really counts: ''If we all agree to switch off our air-conditioning and open a window instead, [then] Live Earth will have offset itself hundreds of thousands of times.''
