President Al Gore (keepin' my fingers crossed...) is focusing his attention on generating buzz for the upcoming Save Our Selves concert and our urgent need to combat global warming via an initiative that he describes as "a mass persuasion campaign" that will outline various ways for individuals, corporations, and politicians to take action.
LiveEarth is of course modeled on the 1985 LiveAid (to raise funds for famine relief) and the 2005 Live8 (to raise pressure for debt relief and eliminating poverty) international concerts.
At the recent TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) convention, Al Gore notes that he intends to use LiveEarth to design a "Green Standard Event" that could become a "model for carbon-neutral concerts and other live entertainment events".
