I like this. The artists on stage had to fly at least 222,623.63 miles (about 358,278 km) — the equivalent of nearly nine times round the planet they said they were saving — to take part in the event, London’s tabloid Daily Mail reported on 7 July, adding ‘the true environmental cost, as they transport their technicians, dancers and support staff, is likely to be far higher’.[29] Concert-goers at the event’s London leg had left thousands of plastic cups on the floor of Wembley Stadium, although organisers had urged audience members to use the recycling bins provided, the BBC reported.[32] Al Gore was unhappy with the travel arrangements of the UK band Razorlight. After their appearance at the London Live Earth event, they were ferried to an airport in a large tour bus with police escort where they caught a private jet to an airport in Scotland, from there, they used a helicopter to travel to Balado where they performed at another Event. Razorlight claimed they would plant trees to offset their emissions.
