'Eco-anxiety' affects 78% of children under 12, a crisis that teachers say they are unable to cope with, new polling by Greenpeace has found. The solution? More ruthless exposure of children to alarmist material.

G8 - Geldof announces Live 8

category international | summit mobilisations | news report author Wednesday June 01, 2005 00:24author by Anthony O'Halloran Report this post to the editors

Concerts to make povery history coinciding with G8.

Bob Geldof announced plans today for five 'Live 8' concerts in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and Philadelphia to take place on Saturday July 2nd 2005.

Purposely planned to coincide with the G8 Summit in Scotland, Geldof is appealing to G8 leaders to get serious about Making Poverty History or not to come at all.

He is encouraging people post-gig to start travelling to Scotland to make their voices heard.

Will Bob's imprimatur 'legitimise' dissent?
Will media and the mainstream jump on the bandwagon now?
Will it make travelling and protesting easier for activists already planning to go?
Will the police help us put up our tents and chop firewood?

Powerful goodwill was generated at Live Aid on July 13th 1985, and if something of the same is generated again this time, you never know.
