This
Saturday, global warming is going to be the talk of the town. In fact,
it's going to be the talk of the world as the Live Earth concerts -
spanning 24 hours and all seven continents - turns the eyes of the
world toward action on global warming.
While the world is thinking globally about climate change, Sierra
Club, Environment Colorado and other conservation and renewable energy
organizations are teaming up to act locally, hosting a 'Friends of Live
Earth' ECOncert, which features five local bands and speakers like
Sierra Club President Robbie Cox, Colorado Senate President Joan
Fitzgerald, a staff representative for Governor Ritter and Environment
Colorado Executive Director Matt Baker discussing ways to stop global
warming.
With great live music from Two Bit Spud Wagon and Wisebird it's sure
to be a great time. Not only is it a chance to hear some new music,
there'll be tons of opportunities to take action on global warming -
including the chance to be part of the Global Warming Phone Jam by
calling Senators Salazar and Allard and asking them to support reducing
our global warming pollution 80% by 2050. And the best part is, it's
free!
