Taking Care Of Earth
One of the biggest music events ever (another one?) is taking place this year.
India is set to host a new installment of Live Earth, which will feature tons of celebrities in an effort to raise funds for solar energy.
According to Live Earth founder Kevin Wall, the event this year will take place in Mumbai on December 7th.
And, during a recent press conference, Wall said this would be "one of the biggest events ever produced here and one of the major events on television."
He added, "If you're alive in India, somewhere, somehow, you can see or hear or become part of this event."
The show will also be shown live in more than 100 countries.
We'll have to wait a few weeks to find out the whole list of celebs involved, but a video message was shown during the new conference which had Jon Bon Jovi saying he'd participate.
Proceeds from the show will go to several projects, including the Light A Billion Lives campaign, which is also supported by the chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The goal of that campaign is to provide the 1.6 billion people world-wide who don't have access to electricity with solar-powered lanterns.
Even Al Gore spoke, via satellite from the US, and praised India by saying it was chosen since it's "the world's largest democracy, one of the oldest and greatest civilisations, but also because of its emerging economic clout on the global stage. Because of all those factors, it is poised to play a tremendous leadership role as we begin the 21st century."
Hopefully many people watch and donate.

Re: Spindoc – on the mark as usual…
As I told you yesterday: In the 21st century it s:
FIRST China - then India - Indonesia - then Asia - then Europe, then Russia - then a BIG gap - and THEN USA!
I noticed some Republican voters still live in the 50s and really BELIEVE the U.S. are still respected and "big" to the rest of the world! Wake up! Your banking and housing crises are just the BEGINNING!
jon bon jovi needs to go away.
why does everyone only seem to only support solar? these guys, NYSERDA.. just about everyone is shying away from wind. its actually more effecient at 95 to 99% at $20,000 Versus solar at only about 18% & costs about 3 times more?! the mass it takes is alot in order to get any benefits of solar. just think, 1/2 your day is night if the other half has got to be lucky enough to have sun & not clouds.. these turbines we have generate power at only 8miles an hour, which studies show about 56 million homes are located in an area that can harvest wind for power. max at 12mph & alot too, 1.8 to 2.9KW! Most if not all of an average homes power needs. most people must not know were even out there & due to this oversight we cannot seem to get Any support as a small wind turbine company *sigh*

I think this show is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard of. Promoting global warming by setting up a GIGANTIC stage that takes a hell of a lot of electricity to run for so many hours, plus the transportation of all of the celebrities and members of the audience. What a huge help to the enviornment that is. :S
OMG! 2 workers out of 4 that we had to lay off today say they are joining the Army!! NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *tears*
Don't know why but Jon Bon Jovi continues to have die-hard fans. They even forgive his dyke soccer mom haircut & highlights. If only he would change his hair…That New Jersey hairdon't ain't cutting it.
Re: Spindoc – Yes and then proceed to tell all us middle class folk what we can do to help.
He added, "If you're alive in India…….lololol yeah cause if your dead your definitely gonna miss it.
They are going to ruin the show if the allow Al Bore to speak! This moron is hoodwinking the world with his lies and half truths. Al Bore will fly his entourage in expensive jets, hire expensive air conditioned Hummers that he will leave running so they are nice and cool when he gets back in them. He will stay in the most expensive hotels forcing minimum wage earners to pander to his fat obese body. He will eat like a pig then fly back home wasting more fuel to fly his even more obese body back home. Typical dumb HYPOCRITICAL demoncRAT!
Below are a few lines from Obama's books, IN HIS WORDS!
From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' / 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' / 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' / 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' / 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
