I’ve heard a lot of critisizm and sarcasm about the Live Earth concert earlier this week. Critics claim that throwing a lavish show and putting up a big performace on stage does not actually help our world too much and the many million people around the world can contribute quit a bit to our little planet in many different ways but watching a concert is not one of them. Cynics went as far as to measure just how much the show itself added to our global warming in terms of energy used, waste and more. But I must say that while I do see where they are coming from, the idea behind the show should not be dismissed. Sure it is much about stars and celebrities getting on board the green trend but maybe that’s just it. Through these celebrities and through events like Live Earth the green trend is growing and awareness is spreading. I must say that I found myself in several occasions over the past few days suddenly catching myself doing something that is a bit wasteful and then changing my ways. I am talking about very minor things that probably don’t change much but then I think about all the other millions upon millions of people that may be don’t the same and understand what it’s all about. Want to come on board? Try doing something green today and see how it feels.
