Are popstars pretty pointless- Yes. Are they hypocritical? Was the concert itself environmentally friendly?- No.
BUT- I think we are at risk of missing the point. The concert marked the starting point of a three year campaign which aims to spread the message globally and hopefully gather some momentum regarding the scientific consensus that there is a problem.
Also that in this media aware age you need to attaract the support of younger people- one of the best ways to do this is via popular culture.
(Although I wouldnt include Genesis in this as they have always been c**p)
Lets stop slagging it off and get behind the idea.
