Get in the Groove and Gather Information on Global Warming
04 July 2007
The City of Richmond invites the public to watch some musical entertainment and learn from displays about City environmental programs while becoming more aware of global warming at:
Event Name: Live Earth (viewing) Date: Saturday, July 7, 2007 Time: 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm Location: Richmond City Hall
(located at 6911 No. 3 Road)
Over 150 music artists will be participating in this 24-hour, seven-continent concert series. An eclectic mix of performers like The Police, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Kanye West, Shakira, and Keith Urban will bring more than 2 billion people together to engage in a global movement to combat the climate crisis.
Live Earth begins in Sydney, Australia on July 7, 2007 and continues across all seven continents, with events in Tokyo, Japan; Shanghai, China; Hamburg, Germany; Johannesburg, South Africa; London, United Kingdom; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, before the grand finale in New York, United States, which will be shown on big screens at City Hall.
The concert will kick off a multi-year campaign to motivate individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve climate issues. The City of Richmond constantly strives to be a more sustainable city with hopes the concert inspires environmental behavioural changes in residents in this community and all across the Lower Mainland.
