Today, LiveEarth.org sponsored an all-day concert to raise awareness about global warming. I watched part of it on Bravotv.com, which included appearances by celebrities, including Al Gore.
It's unfortunate that, with Al Gore's participation, an event like this should have become politicized. It took away from the spirit of unity that was undoubtedly wished for by many. I sincerely hope that the performers offset their carbon "emissions" due to all that traveling! It also would have been nice to have heard new songs created specifically for this event. After all, what does "loosening up my buttons" have to do with global warming?
Seriously, though, it does demonstrate that people can come together when something is important enough. I only hope that "green living" and environmentalism is not attached to the rich and the famous, who are the only ones used as spokespersons these days.
