Live Earth Charity
From LoveToKnow Charity
The Live Earth charity is revolutionizing the way people look at the environment and the stresses being placed upon it by those who live on this planet. This dynamic organization uses the entertainment industry as a platform for tackling some serious issues when it comes to the health of Mother Earth.
What is Live Earth?
Unlike many charities, which fall under non-profit status, Live Earth is actually a for-profit organization that uses those influential in the entertainment industry and political world to get involved in spreading the message of global crisis. From water conservation to the greenhouse effect, Live Earth focuses on all aspects of planet preservation, and puts on big events to help grab people’s attention.
Live Earth uses the Internet for the majority of its information distribution, allowing them to reach an international audience that would happen much more slowly if they went through the traditional venues of television, radio and print media. Today, Live Earth’s website features footage of past events, information on what they’re hoping to accomplish as an organization, as well as a list of those things coming up in the future.
Beginning the Live Earth Charity
The Live Earth charity was founded by Kevin Wall, who is an Emmy award winning producer. He partnered with Al Gore to start a “global movement” geared toward rescuing a planet in crisis. Together these two ambitious and compassionate men worked with various corporations, non-governmental organizations, and various personal connections found within their social circles of entertainment and political gurus to produce a strong team of individuals committed to finding solutions to the earth’s issues.
On July 7th, 2007, Live Earth organized a huge music event that included stages in New York, London, Sydney and even a broadcast even it Antarctica. Over 150 musicians graced the stages, including classics such as Bon Jovi to modern day idols like the Black Eyed Peas. This event catapulted Live Earth into the public spotlight and the group has been successfully producing further events and educational media kits to get the world involved in a positive change.
07.07.07
The above mentioned musical event was Live Earth’s first major effort, and it was known as “07.07.07” by all involved. 24 hours of music was broadcasted via the Internet, and Live Earth was able to take the time to promote its campaign to end the planet’s peril. To make sure every person throughout the globe had a chance to listen to 07.07.07, Live Earth partnered with MSN. Currently the company’s 39 web portals allow approximately 465 million users to visit Live Earth each month and find ways to become inspired and equipped to make a difference.
Green Inaugural Ball
Live Earth orchestrated the Green Inaugural Ball, which was arranged to honor new president Barack Obama while also promoting global awareness. The event was a hit and included performer Melissa Etheridge, who is a big supporter of going green. Live Earth is exceptionally enamored with the “green tips” section of her official website, which proves she is the perfect candidate to support the organization as a spokesperson.
