Al Gore is on the mission of a lifetime to educate
the world about the climate crisis. First
there was his slideshow, given one city at a
time. Then the documentary, An
Inconvenient Truth, that took the
message from the slideshow far and
wide. Now he has teamed up with
Kevin Wall, producer of Live 8, an
event to combat poverty, to put on
another massive event, this time to
inspire individuals, corporations, and
governments all over the world to act
now to solve the climate crisis.
Live Earth is a 24-hour series of concerts, one on each
of the world’s seven continents, all on 7/7/07. The concerts
will feature over 150 of the world’s top musicians,
including The Police, Dave Matthews Band, Genesis,
Kelly Clarkson, Jack Johnson, Madonna, Kanye West,
Bon Jovi, Ludacris, Melissa Ethridge, Alicia Keys,
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, and more.
On the North American continent, the concert will take
place in New York City. But even though we
here in New Mexico don’t have a concert taking
place close to us, we can still take part in
Live Earth. The concerts will be streamed via
satellite feed, shown on MSN’s website, and
the NYC concert will be aired on NBC.
Several events are taking place in Albuquerque,
Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and elsewhere.
You may have the opportunity to
attend a viewing at a neighbor’s house, your
local theater, sports bar, or possibly even a casino.
