The BBC coverage for most of yesterday was dominated by the Live Earth concert from the new Wembley. What I don't understand is how you can promote ecology and economy by flying rock stars all around the world to play on a stage lit with millions of bulbs and video screens and electric guitars etc. Surely that concert cannot have been carbon neutral. I presume the concept of carbon neutralisation is known in the US even if it is largely ignored, Let's face it the closest you get to ecology is a Toyota Prius. That was the irony of the US Live Earth concert, it was in a stadium full of adverts for Toyota, still can't imagine them being the most eco-friendly company on the planet.
This weekend also sees the start of Le Tour de France (The tour of France) from London. Ok I'm sure you've worked out that London is not in France, but they swap around the start every year. It was quite a spectacle over 3 million people lined the streets of London to watch the prologue yesterday.
It's also he British Grand Prix today (Like NASCAR but with corners (turns)). I'm not going to say too much as I don't want to jinx the British drivers taking part.
I'll leave you with this screen shot I found on a competition site, me thinks the picture and caption don't quite match.
Right I'm off to take some pictures with my new Brita filter jug.
