I know that I've mused about this in an earlier post but I thought that I would share this article about how Live Earth organizers are trying not to create more of a problem in regards to global warming. For example, the concerts are going to be reusing some of the items used in the concerts, use electricity that will come from renewable resources, offset carbon emissions caused by the stars flying around in their jets and even using "burger boxes" that are made of edible starch (I've heard of things like this. Too bad they cannot create these for mainstream restaurants).

However, I got to thinking...

They may be trying to do this but what about the millions of people that will be gathered around their televisions and using up electricity in huge quantities? I'm sure there are all sorts of other things like this to think about.

So, while I applaud this effort to enlighten people, why couldn't we have something on a much smaller scale with perhaps bands "unplugged" and acoustic. People could gather in a small public space and listen to people with non-electric instruments and such and enjoy the day (hopefully the weather will be nice). And, perhaps they could gather money from the folks attending and apply it to some sort of environmental cause. Hell... they could also donate the money collected from their empty drink containers! (You just know there'll be beer consumed)

Anyway, that's just my two bits worth. Have a great day folks and if you do have a small acoustic event, please let me know... I can post it here...
