Post Script Cool Facts…

P.S. My lesson learned… Unplug cell phone charges and all electronic devices when not in use. Even when plugged in and in the off position, these still suck up energy!

P.P.S. All of the stages were designed and built by a team of engineers who created green-conscious venues. They were made to maintain a minimum environmental impact, and showcase the latest energy-efficient advances.

P.P.PS. The concert in Antarctica was given by a band of scientists who formed their musical group for the sole sake of Live Earth.
