Yihaa, again I’m involved in a trnd project! This time it’s about a topic that should lie at the hearts of everyone: Our environment. As every halfway informed human being should already have realised, our beautiful planet warms up. That is called global climate warming. Sounds awesome for now: Mediterranean climate North Sea coastal? But in actual fact it should really bother us, as climate warming even causes that the ice on south- and northpole is melting. Should be clear that polarbears aren’t very happy about that.

Together with sos.msn.de, trnd now starts the project Live Earth. The biggest benefit concert of all ages takes place under this name on July 7th, 2007 in Hamburg. As lead sponsor, MSN was able to engage lots of big stars for the concert:

Artists at Live Earth amongst others:

Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Genesis, Bon Jovi, The Police, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Eyed Peas, Jan Delay, Juli, Silbermond, James Blunt, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Kelly Clarkson and Duran Duran.

You can submit your own promise to protect the climate on the Commitment Map. I already set my leaf. You can also show on your Homepage or your Blog that you are in favour of climate protection: With this little leaf button. Feel free to copy it and just place it on your page! But please don’t direct link – spare my traffic! Here you can find some more buttons, banners and graphics.

As a project participant I was sent two hands full of buttons for sticking as well. Now I have to share them out, and that’s why I spread some of them to ten readers, five buttons for each of them. Just send me your name and adress via my contact form! Due to the postal charges I only send out throughout Germany.

Eminently I like the idea that for every participant a tree will be planted. Since Live Earth is a trnd large-scale project, that will result in a considerable forest! Might at least help a bit to score off the CO2. And I can only hope that I’ll be one of the glad elects who are permitted to test one of the energy-saving products: Greenpeace power for one year, master slave sockets, freeplay radios and shake lamps.
