Live Earth

Did you watch the Live Earth show on triple 7? How did you think of it? Does it create enough awareness?

For me, I did watch a bit, well, not really for the global climate message but to catch some of my favourite acts like Crowded House, Madonna or Huang Xiao Ming. Well, to use these famous names to create awareness is a good move because they are the people who can truly deliver the message to the masses as they have influence to people. We all love them, their music and their gossips that's why people will listen when they say "Save the Earth"!

On the other hand, millions of people are turning on televisions at home for many hours, so the message to save the energy has been defeated in certain sense. Say if a person turn on their telly non stop for 24 hours, and multiply that by 10 million times, how much energy alone has been consumed on that particular day alone?

People also criticised the areas like how much power was used just for the stage alone and that to really create message, acoustic version of the concert should be used instead.

What do you think?
