LIVE EARTH

The world stages call for curbing climate change on Saturday 7/7/07 featuring various artists to give cause to global warming. The concerts have the intent of bringing together more than 150 of the world's most popular music acts and drawing a worldwide audience of 2 billion people, making it one of the largest global events in history. The umbrella organization for the event is a new global movement under the name Save
Our Selves (SOS).

In addition to raising awareness of global warming, on June 28, 2007, it was
revealed that Live Earth is to be the launch event for the Live Earth Call to
Action.During the concerts people will be asked to support the following
7-point pledge:

* To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;
* To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my
own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become 'carbon
neutral;'
* To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;
* To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;
* To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
* To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,
* To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.
