green

go green. gaia.

Live earth is useless. Well awareness that our earth is deteriorating may have been created, and that going green is the in thing now or kelly-clarkson-and-james-blunt like but I think it's an absolute waste of money. Imagine, all the amount of money put into paying those artist and stage people, equipment and lighting, couldn’t it all be put to better use?

After this marathon of songs and performances, will world pollution be ceased? or maybe halved? And even if it does, how long will it remain that way? Is the world gonna be holding it every year as a reminder to the citizens of the world such that it actually becomes a bore? Like perhaps American idol (when contestants are lousy) where audiences foolishly cling on to Ryan seacrest's empty we'll-know-the-results-after-the-break promises?

Awareness may be created, but it's not awareness that is gonna save the world. It needs action. after this event the only good that will come out of it is that one won't be labeled as a nerd or a geek if he or she decides to 'go green', but I’m afraid that's just all. Talk is just talk. It needs effort to evolve into action. Take for example AIDS which everyone knows about, numbers are still increasing.

out of the 150 artistes that performed for the event, I would like to know how many of them truly meant it, or truly understand the sacrifices and what it take to save the earth, and most importantly how they are changing their lifestyles to make it more nature-friendly.

If that figure is less than half, the whole event is a scam.
