David De Rothschild, author of THE LIVE EARTH GLOBAL WARMING SURVIVAL HANDBOOK: 77 Essential Skills to Stop Climate Change, 7-5-07
David De Rothschild, founder of Sculpt the Future, a non-profit environmental foundation, is author of THE LIVE EARTH GLOBAL WARMING SURVIVAL HANDBOOK: 77 Essential Skills to Stop Climate Change, the 160-page official companion volume to Live Earth. The book – which will be printed on environmentally responsible paper – presents 77 essential skills for stopping climate change—and for living through it.
David is one of the judges for the New Statesman’s Edge Upstart Award and The Observer Ethical Award. He was recently voted as a “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum and an “Emerging Explorer” for National Geographic’s class of 2007.
On July 7, 2007, one of the biggest audiences in history – more than 2 billion viewers and more than 1 million concertgoers – will see 24 hours of nonstop concerts broadcast from seven continents as part of Live Earth, an unprecedented seven-continent concert series that’s part of a massive effort to combat global warming.
The 7-continent Live Earth concert series will begin in Sydney and continue across all 7 continents, concluding with a U.S. show. Concerts will feature today's biggest musicians, singers, and groups including Bon Jovi, The Police and Madonna, performing at venues in official Live Earth host cities: London, New York, Sydney, Shanghai, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Hamburg and Istanbul. As many as 120 television stations worldwide will broadcast the concert globally.
Live Earth also marks the beginning of the (SOS) Save Our Selves campaign, a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection and other international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to move individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former Vice President of the United States Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance for Climate Protection and Partner of Live Earth.
