GORE AND DIAZ PROMOTE ENVIRONMENT AWARENESS

Former US Vice President AL GORE, CAMERON DIAZ and hip-hop producer PHARRELL WILLIAMS have joined forces to promote an international campaign to raise environmental awareness. The trio were in Los Angeles yesterday (15FEB07) to announce the initiative called Save Our Selves - The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis. Promoters are planning a 24-hour concert called Live Earth that will take place on seven continents on 7 July (07). More than 100 music acts, including Pharrell, JOHN LEGEND, BLACK EYED PEAS, FALL OUT BOY and KELLY CLARKSON, will participate. Diaz told the audience, "This is the only issue in the history of mankind that affects every single one of us - our planet is in danger. But at least someone is doing something about it." Promoters said the concerts will take place in Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; London and cities to be announced in Japan, Brazil and the United States. Pharrell added, "Our atmosphere, our planet, is being abused, and we need to make this part of our daily consciousness. On July 7, you're going to see the biggest party on earth!"
