This Saturday, global warming is going to be the talk of the town. In fact, it’s going to be the talk of the world as the Live Earth concerts – spanning 24 hours and all seven continents – turns the eyes of the world toward action on global warming.

While the world is thinking globally about climate change, Sierra Club, Environment Colorado and other conservation and renewable energy organizations are teaming up to act locally, hosting a ‘Friends of Live Earth’ ECOncert, which features five local bands and speakers like Sierra Club President Robbie Cox, Colorado Senate President Joan Fitzgerald, a staff representative for Governor Ritter and Environment Colorado Executive Director Matt Baker discussing ways to stop global warming.

With great live music from Two Bit Spud Wagon and Wisebird it’s sure to be a great time. Not only is it a chance to hear some new music, there’ll be tons of opportunities to take action on global warming – including the chance to be part of the Global Warming Phone Jam by calling Senators Salazar and Allard and asking them to support reducing our global warming pollution 80% by 2050. And the best part is, it’s free!
