"Live Earth" Tomorrow

Party against the Climate Crisis? Maybe it sounds weird, but it's caught the imagination of millions--and belies the opposers' charge (and very often, projection) that those calling for action are just sowing fear for political gain. It also brings people together to galvanize the political will to address the crisis, while enacting hope. Hope is a condition of the present, and requires action. Live Earth is a vehicle for informing people that they can change the future for the better through what they do now in their own lives.

Here's what's happening tomorrow: 24 hours of music with major artists at concerts on 7 continents. A Washington DC concert has just been added at the Museum of the American Indian. The music will be streamed live at
MSN, NBC will broadcast the New York concert (with the Police reunion) along with highlights from other venues in prime-time. In addition, Bravo, CNBC and the Sundance Channel will serve up from 7 to 22 hours of the festivities. There's continuous information and action you can take here.

There are also some 7,000 house parties and other events registered in all 50 states and 129 countries. 7/7/2007 could go down as the day that Climate Crisis awareness--and commitment-- reached critical mass. It's time to save the world.
