Live Earth: The Hypocrisy

The cool dude and head honcho at IZReloaded is pretty sharp. He was aghast at the waste of Live Earth, the extravagant ego-boosting event where hypocritical rock stars with huge carbon footprints pranced and strutted on stage:

"I'm all for saving the Earth, but after spending the night watching Live Earth, I realised that it may have done our dear planet a great harm. Flying the music stars all over the world and getting millions to head to the concerts and watch them on TV cannot be environmentally friendly aye."

Good guy. He exposes the event for what it is, the mountains of waste generated, the amount of power consumed. Now, the mainstream media is also beginning to realise that Live Earth is just a stage for rock stars like Madonna, with oversized egos and huge carbon footprints and new reports and articles have appeared. The pictures of the mountains of waste generated is appalling. The power usage is of course invisible...
