Live 8 - a major show for the environment

Thanks to Bob Geldof there will be a repeat of what he did with Live Aid 20 years ago in 1985. He will do it to highlight the ongoing problem of global poverty and debt. And in fact, by highlighting this, the environmental situation of the world will also be highlighted. If we solve the poverty of the World, then we will also solve the chopping of the global forests. Because - poor countries will no longer have to chop down their Rain Forest or other forests making the world a better place to live.

The events will take place in London, Philadelphia - US, Paris, Berlin & Rome on July 02.
