Some interesting tidbits from backstage:
-- Live Earth U.S.A. is the largest green event ever, with nearly everything being used, including the stage, and the planks covering the field, set to be recycled.
-- Organizers are putting all their energy into getting people to sign the 7-point pledge online or at the concerts. "We want to create pressure in national capitols around the world so that elected officials know that they have the support of the people to make this transition and make it quickly," said Cathy Zoi, the CEO of the Alliance for Climate Protection, the group that will receive the donations from today's event.
-- The Live Earth USA show is a sell-out, with 52,000 filling Giants Stadium.
