Don't forget to turn off your PC, by Deleted on Dec 3, 2007 19:08:19 GMT 1, Stuff like this really pisses me off  They always tell us not to leave the computers on and dont forget to half boil your kettle so you get a cold cup of tea, But they dont seem to mind pumping out advertisements in new times square and lighting up the houses of Parliament of a night and wasting money on xmas lights in oxford street, it pisses me off that we all get affected, Tell the queen to half boil her kettle

I mean same thing with the Live Earth concerts. I cant find the link but here is the quote: John Buckley of Carbon Footprint, an organization that helps companies reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, said Saturday that Live Earth will produce about 74,500 tons of the gas. "We would have to plant 100,000 trees to offset the effect of Live Earth," he said.
Right now everyone wants to somehow be tied to helping the enviroment whether or not they are actually doing some good. I have similar problems with the "Red" advertising campaigns that Gap and other companies support. If you look at the fine print the companies barely donate anything to the charity. They are probably spending more on advertising than they are actually donating. So, why not just make the donation? Because for the most part people care more about being associated with doing something good than actually doing something good.

I think in both cases it's about making people being aware.
