"An average person's rubbish in every 7 weeks is equal to his average weight".

"If 1 million people people cut down their rubbish by 10%, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50,000 tonnes".

These quotes are in view of the Live earth's concerts, which appeal to the general public to play their part in healing Mother Earth. Many have questioned the relevance and impact of these massive global concert. Are people really going alter their devasting and earth-debilitating ways after being apart of these concerts? Are the concert set-ups an utter waste of resources?

Initially i felt skeptical too, where i was ambivalent about the effectiveness of Live Earth, but after watching snippets of the concerts, i felt encouraged and inspired to play my part. I watched the concert due to my favourite artists (Alicia Keys, John Mayer, etc) performing, but that was the all-important step in getting me involved. Footage like short films and celebrities like Cameron Diaz inspired me to play my part, where simple things like using reycled paper towels mattered. I was also educated on the whole halabalu about the hastening of global warming, where the figures given simply expounded on it.

It may take a genius like Al Gore to plan a concert on such a gargantuan scale, but it definitely doesn't take a genius to play their part in global warming. ANSWER THE CALL.

P.S. I am not getting any amount of commision for these blog post. Heh. XD

Madonna - Hey You

Hey you,
Don't you give up, it's not so bad
There's still a chance for us
Hey you,
Just be yourself, don't be so shy

There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together, you'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you

Hey you,
Open your heart, it's not so strange
You've got to change this time
Hey you,
Remember this, none of it's real
Including the way you feel

Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother
