how much good did all the rubbish left by the people at live earth do for the environment???

Answer 1

It's one of the great ironies of human behaviour. Hold live events to help save the planet and use more electricity in one night than most people use in a year. Add to that the "emissions" from all the performers who travelled there, many in planes - and the audience, probably thousands in cars - and it really makes you think what exactly are they trying to draw our attention to....that the best way to stop damaging the planet is to hold events which....erm....damage the planet?

Maybe all the rubbish left behind was biodegradable.

Answer 2

If they had not left it there they would have left it someplace else so the net difference is zero. More important is all the rest of the people who were NOT there, and the much bigger mountain of rubbish THEY left.

The environment is basically screwed no matter how you look at it, in spite of Al Gore, who now wants to be a rock concert promoter.

Answer 3

Now that is what I call hypercritical, talk about rubbishing us for not doing enough to help the environment, biggest hypocrites going these earth day hypocrites.

Answer 4

There was loads of recycling bins for plastics but not for card. I couldn't belive how many people just dumped thier rubbish on the pitch all day, it was awful wading through burger boxes and cups and having them kicked into you by people walking through the crowd

Answer 5

but then look outside there is rubbish everywhere, the rubbish created looks small to the rubbish in our cities and country"

Answer 6

It wasnt a problem-i heard they hired the Wombles!!xx

Answer 7

It will be used to power Al Gore's new car.

Answer 8

Well, if they hadn't left it there, they would probably left it somewhere for another council to collect!

Answer 9

Never mind the litter - what about the watts?

Answer 10
