Live Earth

I didn't see much of Live Earth: the music was average, sometimes Al Gore's so wooden I think he'd be better off sprouting leaves if he wants to lower emissions, and I was ironically aware of wasting electricity when the message is one I already get. Will anything change? Probably not, but I think it's important to try anyway. In one sense, it's the environmental equivalent of Pascal's Wager - if you accept even the possibility of climate change then doing something beats doing nothing. In another, I've found it suits me to be the kind of person who gives a shit about someone other than themselves. And I do know this much: every progressive change comes from below.
