Live Earth inspires thousands to go green

By early today, 150,000 people had signed up to an online pledge to cut their use of fossil fuels. “The concerts were only the springboard and we now face three years of hard work to try and find a global solution,” said a spokesman.

All 150 artists who took part in the concerts in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg, Hamburg, London and Washington waived their appearance fees and signed up to the pledge to cut their own CO2 emissions.
