The worldwide series of concerts known as Live Earth have started today in Australia and Japan and will be moving around the world for the next 24 hours.

Although not directly related to Live Earth, there are a couple relevant sites you might want to check out:

• Earth Charter
  is “a declaration of fundamental principles for building a just,
  sustainable, and peaceful global society for the 21st century. Created
  by the largest global consultation process ever associated with an
  international declaration, endorsed by thousands of organizations
  representing millions of individuals, the Earth Charter seeks to
  inspire in all peoples a sense of global interdependence and shared
  responsibility for the well-being of the human family and the larger
  living world. The Earth Charter is an expression of hope and a call to
  help create a global partnership at a critical juncture in history. ”

• The Earth Portal
  is “a comprehensive resource for timely,
  objective, science-based information about the environment. It is a
  means for the global scientific community to come together to produce
  the first free, expert-driven, massively scaleable information resource
  on the environment, and to engage civil society in a public dialogue on
  the role of environmental issues in human affairs. It contains no
  commercial advertising and reaches a large global audience.”

• And as always, there are pledges to be found – the good folks at Avaaz have one which they’re trying to get 50 000 signatures on (27 055 at this point).
