Well, 7.o7.07 finally came and with it the Live Earth: Concerts for a Climate in Crisis has now concluded. The magnitude of the concerts all around the globe and the cavalcade of star performances is pretty impressive--however--I've got to be honest here--I'm a little disappointed with the outcome (and no, I don't mean Al Gore's comment on a bid for the 2008 election )

I just checked the Live Earth website and as of now, there are only 154,412 people who have pledged to change some aspect of their behavior to lower the greenhouse gas emissions that result from their energy use. I can only hope that people are still awestruck by Madonna's performance and will make a pledge tomorrow---if you haven't made a pledge yet, please do so now . It may seem like a little thing, but the more people who do it, the stronger the message.
