LIVE EARTH CONCERTS
7-7-2007 The Concert for a climate IN crisis
What About Money Raised from Live Earth Concerts?
M & C just posted nice article with some more information about Live Earth Concerts. One of the questions is “what will happen with money raised by Live Earth concerts?” According to Live Earth communications director Yusef Robb the Live Earth is charging for tickets and does seek to gain financial support from corporate sponsors. Robb says the bulk of this income will go to underwriting the massive expense of staging the concerts, easily in the multimillions of dollars.
Beyond paying for the event, “all proceeds will go to the Alliance for Climate Protection, chaired by Al Gore, which is going to start a new global program to combat our climate crisis,” Robb says.
The endgame, Robb says, is to make Live Earth more than a one-day event. “We want to make sure the message we issue on 7-7-07 echoes for the weeks, months, years and decades to come.”

What the hell is going on? I work my ass off to defend Live Earth and you guy’s can’t even be truthful about where the money raised is going. If I find out you duped me into fighting for Live Earth, I will do everything I can, including saying I was wrong in supporting L.E..Get your shit together and make it public as to what and where you are doing with the damn money. You are starting to look and sound like the people we are working against to help save the planet.
