Live Earth – what a waste of time…and energy.

I watched the Live Earth concert over the weekend and enjoyed the performances but couldn’t help thinking about the size of the carbon footprint created by the event.


I did have a feeling that those in charge of the concert were preaching to the converted.

I’m a keen recycler and have just taken bags and bags of cans and bottles to the local recycling centres. My house is full of energy saving light bulbs.

In my opinion the way to make a difference is to get businesses to change their practices and operate in a greener way. We also need to help developing countries practice and fund greener ways of working while they build infrastructures and develop their industries. We can all recycle till the cows come home, but if we don’t get global businesses to change then I feel it won’t make an ounce of difference.

At the end of the day the green $ is more attractive than being green!
