Somebody said to me other day -- "Um, no, we won't be attending a Live Earth party -- it is not really our thing, you know"....
Is the Planet's assured future "not your thing" either?
Thank goodness there are people out there who realise that "A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers but borrowed from his children." (~ John James Audubon). Thank goodness that there are people who do care -- because thanks to those, ---you - whose 'thing it is not' --- can breathe oxygen, can drink water, can sit in the shade of a tree, can eat healthy food, can enjoy a sunset, can see the stars' exquisite brilliance in a moon-less night sky.
Breaking records on 7th July!
We've just been looking through the list of Avaaz Live Earth parties and it's unbelievably exciting! We're got over 2500 events taking place in 114 countries around the world. It's a fantastic response, and it keeps on growing!
When July 7th comes, we'll all be part of the biggest de-centralised global event ever organized. Live Earth is connecting 2 billion people around the world in a message of solidarity that will join us together to stop a climate catastrophe before its too late. It's serious stuff, but the parties are going to be fun! There will be actions to take, a special message from Al Gore and lots more.
Just browsing through the venues for Avaaz's first global virtual party is really exciting...the most common place is "our house", but see below - everyone, from the President of Sierra Leone to Bosnian clubbers, is going to be involved! Here's a snapshot of some of the events taking place:
