Less than 24 nail-biting hours remain until the start of what is potentially the biggest party the world has ever seen, and you’re invited. Starting Saturday morning, the Live Earth concert series will host more than 100 music artists (including Madonna, Metallica, Dave Mathews Band, and The Police, just to name a few) for 24 hours on 7 continents and as many as 2 billion people will take part. For those keeping track, that’s one-third of the entire planet’s population, united on one day: 7/7/07. What will they be celebrating? Taking action to mitigate climate change.

According to the event’s official webpage, “Live Earth will use the global reach of music to engage people on a mass scale to combat our climate crisis.”

You can join the rest of the planet in celebrating the steps we have taken and the steps we must take to reverse climate change. Live Earth concerts will be broadcast around the world by television, radio, and the Internet. You can be a part of it all at one of over 6,000 locations worldwide that have agreed to host Live Earth parties to view the concerts.
