Edwards' Party for the Planet

It may be the most significant moment for the climate since the discovery of oil.

That's how the John Edwards campaign is billing it. The campaign is urging people to participate in Al Gore's "Live Earth concert" this Saturday, a music event designed to raise awareness about the climate crisis.

Edwards, in coordination with MoveOn.org, is urging supporters to meet up to watch the global broadcast.

The Springfield Library Center on South Campbell will be the local site to rock for the planet. So far, 18 people are registered to participate locally.

In addition to the concert, participants will get to watch a special preview of presidential candidates answering MoveOn.org questions about the climate.

David, could someone tell how much they will be helping the green house effect. I mean how much of a carbon footprint are they leaving? Anybody figured out just how much fuel they will burn getting their private jets to the nine countries, and how much fuel they will burn to run the generators for the amps for the music? and TV cameras? fuel for the cars from the airports? where will they put all the waste from these nine sites?
Talk about A CARBON FOOTPRINT, Thanks Al...

You have a better way to get the word out?

Pollution is not natural. We are eroding the planets natural defences. This is the part people are missing, we are excelerating the process.
