Live Earth, SA flags and climate change

It's always so comforting to know that wherever in the world you go, whatever concert you are watching there will always be a South African flag in the audience.I am watching the Live Earth concert on SABC 2. However poorly the SA side of the concert was handles, the UK one is phenomenal, great bands ans well orchestrated. Today will mark my climate change.I am going to make a point of buying energy saving light bulbs, I will purchase my music online instead of buying CDs, I will try to recycle, save electricity, not keep my heater on, heated blankets, lights etc etc etc etc...Many South Africans (myself included) blogged about the disappointing Live Earth line-up here in SA, but we all missed the point. The concert needs to illustrate effectively to 2 billion people that we (the middle-upperclass) can make a MASSIVE difference in our daily lives. We are destroying the world. This is our biggest issue right now, not war, religious battles, capitalism or any other cause. It is us destroying our Earth.Preaching is not my forte. Get on to SABC 2 now and watch the concert for yourself.
