AL GORE, KEVIN WALL ISSUE FAR-REACHNG LIVE EARTH CALL TO ACTION
July 7th Concerts to Call on Millions at Over 6,000 Live Events,
Billions of Broadcast Viewers Across All 7 Continents to Commit to
Bold Actions
Al Gore Reads the Live Earth Pledge
EDITOR'S NOTE: Live Earth video package, including sound bites from
Gore and Wall, is available at www.thenewsmarket.com/liveearth.
Today's press conference will also be available later this
afternoon. Registration and video is free to the media.
New York City (June 28, 2007) – Live Earth Founder Kevin Wall joined
with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Alliance for Climate
Protection CEO Cathy Zoi today to announce the Live Earth Call to
Action – a series of commitments that Live Earth will be asking
people across the globe to make to combat the climate crisis. Wall
also announced that there are going to be more than 6,000 satellite
Live Earth events taking place in more than 100 nations around the
world on July 7th in support of Live Earth.
In addition to providing over 100 simple actions people can take in
their daily lives, which will have a tremendous positive impact when
carried out on a mass scale, Live Earth will ask people to support a
90% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2050 and a comprehensive
international treaty on global warming by 2009.
"If we are going to solve this crisis, we have to commit, and we
have to do it now. Live Earth will ask people across the world to
commit to changes in their lives and to move other people,
communities, companies and governments to reduce our carbon output
by 90% by 2050 and ensure there's a new, global treaty on climate
change by 2009," Gore said. "Nations all over the world are making
progress in tackling the climate crisis. But too many proposals
fall short of the strong, decisive action that's needed. Individual
nations alone cannot solve this crisis. The nations of the world
must join together as one if we are to succeed."
Live Earth will ask people to commit to making changes at home, at
work, while getting around, while shopping, in their communities and
to urge changes by their governments. Through its "Answer the Call"
campaign, people can make their commitments and find solutions
against the climate crisis at liveearth.org, LiveEarth.MSN.com, or
by sending a free text message of "SOS" to 82004.
At Thursday's announcement in New York City, Gore, Wall and Zoi all
signed Live Earth's 7-point pledge on the climate crisis:
• To demand that my country join an international treaty within the
next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed
countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next
generation to inherit a healthy earth;
• To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by
reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the
rest to become "carbon neutral;"
• To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new
generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely
trap and store the CO2;
• To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my
home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of
transportation;
• To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable
energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;
• To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and
protecting forests; and,
• To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment
to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and
prosperous world for the 21st century.
The names of people making commitments and signing the pledge
through their computers or cell phones on July 7th will be shown on
the Live Earth web site, on the screens at the concerts, and on the
global TV broadcasts.
Wall noted that Live Earth and this pledge will reach a massive
global audience through an unprecedented media architecture.
"Live Earth will jump-start an ongoing, global effort that will
drive a critical mass of people to stand up and make challenging
global warming a priority in their lives. Live Earth will be a
launch event that no movement has ever seen before. Our message
will reach all 7 continents with 8 official concerts, special
broadcast events broadcast worldwide on TV, radio and the Internet.
We've produced a collection of films, PSAs, and even an official
Live Earth companion book. This massive multimedia platform will be
the foundation for a movement that drives us to the tipping point,"
Wall said. "If enough people come together to fight against the
climate crisis, corporations and governments will have no choice but
to act as well."
Live Earth is being broadcast on television and radio in more than
100 countries. For example, in the US, Live Earth will be broadcast
on the NBC network, the Spanish language Telemundo network, the
Sundance Channel, Bravo, MSNBC, and Universal HD. In the UK, Live
Earth will be carried by the BBC and in Japan, in an unprecedented
step, both NHK and Fuji TV will carry the shows. The shows will be
broadcast globally by MSN at LiveEarth.MSN.com. MSN reaches 465
million unique visitors a month in 21 different languages.
"The climate crisis requires a global solution. Live Earth is using
an unprecedented media architecture to reach a global audience,"
Wall said.
In addition, Wall noted that Live Earth has produced more than 60
short films, 30 PSAs featuring stars like Cameron Diaz and Penelope
Cruz, and a book – The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook
by David de Rothschild that was released just this week – to serve
as lasting media that will echo the Live Earth call to action
delivered at the concerts on July 7.
Wall said that after the announcement of Live Earth, people and
organizations all over the world asked to host their own events to
support the cause, and the "Friends of Live Earth" program was
created to support these efforts. The events range from small
gatherings in homes to public screenings of the Live Earth concerts
for thousands of people to multi-day festivals in places ranging
from Portland, Oregon to Zurich to Malta, all to be held on July
7th. To date, more than 6,000 Friends of Live Earth events have been
organized in 109 countries. Visit liveearth.org to participate in
the Friends of Live Earth program.
"These 6,000 events are just the beginning," Gore said. "If just
one person from each event holds one of their own, we've doubled our
reach. We think many more people will answer the call and help us
spread the message of Live Earth even farther on July 7th and for
long afterward."
The Alliance for Climate Protection, Al Gore.com, Avaaz, Defenders
of Wildlife, ICLEI and the Sierra Club have joined with Live Earth
to organize Friends of Live Earth events around the world. Evite is
also encouraging its users to hold Live Earth viewing parties.
"Live Earth is just the beginning of a massive global movement. It
will be the first great note in a worldwide song demanding change
that will be heard on every continent in every time zone. And we
will keep singing this song until meaningful actions are taken by
our leaders to halt the climate crisis," Zoi said. "Post Live
Earth, The Alliance for Climate Protection is undertaking a 3-5 year
campaign to educate people from all walks of life that the climate
crisis is both critically urgent and something we can solve. We will
take the momentum of Live Earth and continue to challenge people to
take action in their own lives and demand action from their leaders —
actions that must deliver reductions in global warming pollution
that will safeguard the planet and provide for a prosperous 21st
century."
Prior to taking the helm at the Alliance, Zoi spent more than two
decades in the energy and environmental sector in both the United
States and Australia, including stints with environmental
organizations, the New South Wales government, and the Clinton-Gore
Administration. She was Group Executive Director at the Bayard
Group in Sydney, Australia. Bayard is the world leader in smart
metering systems with operations in 30 countries and revenues in
excess of $1.2 billion.

in 2006 by Gore, who is currently the Chairman of the Board of
Directors. The Alliance is engaged in an unprecedented effort to
convince people from all walks of life about the urgency and the
solvability of the climate crisis.
Building on the momentum of the Academy Award winning film, "An

individuals, communities, corporations and governments across the
world to take action to quickly reduce their own greenhouse
pollution to become "carbon neutral" and demand action from their
political, business and community leaders to enact policies that
will sharply reduce emissions.
Through an innovative combination of communication platforms and an
influential collection of supporters that includes the environmental
community, key leaders in business, the entertainment industry, the
faith community, labor and many others, the Alliance will reach new
audiences to engage them in solving the climate crisis.
