I was in Singapore on Live Earth day about 3 weeks ago. There were concerts after concerts held to mark that day. The concerts were held in different countries all over the globe.They were trying to spread the “Answer the call” and “Save earth” message. How successful was it? I have no idea.
Apart from the concerts, there were also countless 30 seconds commercials that were spreading the “Answer the call” awareness as well. The “beep” of the SOS signal still rings in my head. You can’t help but to memorize it when it was played twice every half a minute (once before and another one after each 30 seconds commercial starts).
Occasionally, there will be a few “short movie” sort of play. Those were my favourites.
The concerts can be viewed on their Live Earth website. As for the 30 seconds commercial and the short movies, I remember watching them some place but couldn’t think of where right now. If you’re interested, you can search in their website or try youtube.
After watching so many of the Live Earth videos, it would be natural to feel the need to answer the call. I planned to try and work on all the lessons learned after watching the videos. One of the easiest thing that we could do is to switch off the room lights when not in used.
Is climate change a man-made problem? Is the earth dying a slow death? What can we do to help ease the burden and help the earth heal? Even if you know about it, would you actually do it?

I don’t think Live Earth make any impact to most of us.
As you see, most people just don’t change their habits after the event.

That’s quite true. Well, maybe it doesn’t represent the entire population of the world but I believe the message did go out but it didn’t reach into the hearts of the listeners. I think most people enjoyed the concerts more than the actual “SOS message”.
