Live Earth Wrap Up - Everyone 50+, please listen up!

Saturday has been an interesting day. Apart from the fact that Toronto totally dropped the ball on the Live Earth broadcast at Yonge Dundas Square, I have had some really interesting conversations with people at the show.

I've noticed an alarming trend though. A lot of people were complaining about that show and how this could not be environmentally friendly. I don't think that we will stop promoting concerts, because we have this global climate crisis. We will just have to adopt new thinking, and this event has demonstrated it.

I must say most of the critics were 50+ and after very little explanation they have noticed that I am very passionate about reducing greenhouse gases ("Who knew that their sound guy was a treehugger") - they were all hoping to have a self glorifying talk about how this global warming "thing" is all just a big hoax.

I urge all people (not only 50+), if you don't think this is a true problem to reconsider your opinion on that. To all people 50+, please think of the younger generations, because we will one day have to figure this mess out. You might be able to experience the beginnings of this crisis, but if we don't change our habits right now, we - the younger generation - will have to deal with problems of truely global scale!

Thank You for listening.
