On 7th July there will be 'Live Earth' concerts all around the globe to
bring attention to climate change. The tickets are all sold and the
perfomers are already chosen.
But at *
www.aliveearth.org * an alternative
concert is already underway- a concert which welcomes all visitors and
performers. The online concert is the brainwave of a small non-profit
organisation in Oxford England which felt that the mega concerts were
not doing enough to support a wider range of voices on climate change.
One day after the launch there are already nearly 60 performances in the
alternative concert- mostly music, but including comedy and poetry. We
welcome postings of all kinds of performances- big and small, amateur
and professional, in the Hollywood Bowl and in the bedroom. We invite
entries to be as angry, happy, whimsical, political, or bizarre as they
like providing that they have something to say about climate change,
accept the reality of the science and are not offensive.
On 7-7-07 the performances that receive the most votes and hits will be
compiled on the site for the full alternative concert. It won't be live,
it will be ALIVE!
And, because this concert will be on the web, there will be no executive
jets, no cars, no floodlighting, no air conditioning, no paper, no
plastic, no cans. Truly low carbon.
This project is independent of the Live Earth concerts. It wishes them
every success.
If you like this idea please post up your performance, send this
announcement to everyone you know, put a link or button on your on your
site and share your favourite performances with your friends.
