The following message is from our friend Vice President Al Gore.
A decade from now, when people look back on Live Earth, what they will remember isn't what happened during the show ––instead my hope is they remember what happened after. More than 2 billion of us joined together on 7.7.07 and with one voice demanded an end to the climate crisis. It is now our responsibility to carry this movement forward and force our leaders to take action.
That's why I'm asking you to join me in signing the Live Earth Pledge. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have signed this document, which calls for a 90% cut in global warming pollution. Now we need to convince more of our leaders to take this same courageous stand.
The pledge is a simple way to show that the political will exists to take the bold steps necessary to end the climate crisis. But it will only be effective if millions of Americans speak out and add their voice.

Throughout most of our short history, the United States and the American people have provided moral leadership for the world. Establishing the Bill of Rights, framing democracy in the Constitution, defeating fascism in World War II, toppling Communism, and landing on the moon –– all were the result of American leadership. Once again, Americans must come together and direct our government to take on a global challenge. Our leadership is a precondition for success.
The climate crisis offers us the chance to experience what few generations in history have had the privilege of experiencing: a mission; a compelling moral purpose; a shared cause; and the thrill of being forced by circumstances to put aside the pettiness and conflict of politics and to embrace a genuine moral and spiritual challenge.
Live Earth was a unique moment that now presents us with a unique choice.
Do we use this unprecedented opportunity to organize a global movement that will last beyond the concerts themselves? Or do we let the moment pass?
I know my answer -–– and I think I know yours. That's why I am issuing this challenge: Let's use this moment to pledge our support to solving the climate crisis. Just as important –– let's ask everyone we know to join us as part of this movement.
