I find it interesting that most of the negative comments about the “Live Earth” concerts within this report are aimed at the British audience and the BBC - can you not also include within the negativity a balance between all the countries that took part including your own the USA? Were there not many artists performing in New York and Washington?

I actually think you are onto something with your criticism of the carbon footprint that such events leave but unfortunately all credibility is gone because you are unable to point the finger back at your own country and fellow Americans who took part in the event. What was the total carbon footprint of the American concerts?

I just happened to listen to your broadcast today and felt inclined to e-mail you all. I have never in my life heard so many lies or felt so much evil eminate from one radio program. The “Reverend” claims to be a man of God, however he doesn’t honor God’s wish to have man protect the planet. Your clearly stated addiction to big business propaganda and the accompanying lies, are hypocritical and blasphemous. I strongly encourage the “Reverend” and his followers to repent of their misguided and evil actions. May God have mercy on you poor misguided fools. G. Hecox

The radio program referred to by G. Hecox can be heard or downloaded here (free of charge). Accompanying (supporting) articles are documented on that page as well.

If one seeks Dr. Land’s general approach to these environmental issues, his book The Earth is the Lord’s (1992) would be a good place to start. Download the first chapter for free (PDF, 592 KB)

Another For Faith & Family radio broadcast on this subject can be heard here.

Further reading can be found in the “Environment" archive.

I didn’t watch Live Earth coverage on T.V., I didn’t go to any concert.

But what I did see was the enviornment take a front seat as one of the major issues that needs to be addressed in this country, and in the world. Doesn’t that make Live Earth a success? Even if the concerts themselves caused pollution, even if attendance was bad, LIVE EARTH got the word out and made the enviornment an issue like it never was before.

Congrats on the effort AL
