I didn't watch it, but some of the acts would have interested me (huge Pink Floyd fan...). I think my brother was at the Sydney concert - until he rang me to say he was going(3 days ago), I had never even heard of the concert(s).

I'm all for saving energy. There is a lot that can be done *easily* (and cheaply), and that's a great place to start.

Solar panels can be good, but they aren't the simplest or cheapest solution. They actually require a lot of energy to create, are generally very inefficient (for electricity anyway) and you need to get a few years out of them (at least) to make it all break even.

Other simple things:

- don't keep chargers plugged in at powerpoints when not being used
- turn off stuff at powerpoints rather than standby (I'm guilty of this with many things)
- don't flush (as often) when "yellow"...
- install rain water tanks at home (big in Aussieland)
- turn off speakers, amps when not being used
- instead of using heaters (too much), try putting some warm clothing on!
- cycle/walk/public transport as much as possible (when possible)
- carpool/give people lifts

...and best yet - buy a Wii rather than a PS3! I'm doing my bit... :)

 


 yes! Buy a Wii rather than PS3! PS3's take up more energy, thus a bigger carbon footprint. Let's all sing together

 

Wii are the world.... Wii are the people...
