"Live Earth"

On 7/7/07 a series of pop and rock concerts will be held across 8 cities to spread awareness about the global warming crisis. Millions, even billions, of people are expected to tune in on their TVs and radios (in addition to the tens of thousands already attending the shows themselves) and be a part of this event.

There are literally hundreds of artists going to be performing; so whatever your taste in music, you're likely to find something you like. But the music is just a medium, "save the environment" is the message. You must do your bit to save our environment.

Use less fuel -- use public transport, ride a bicycle, carpool. Use less electricity -- turn off lights and fans when not in use, replace bulbs by Compact Fluoroscent Lamps. Stop using plastics. Reduce the use of water heaters, air conditioners and room heaters. Save trees -- use less paper.

These are only a few of the things you can do. These little things can make a big difference. Remember the 4 R's -- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Restore.

"Re-View"

It has been over a month since I started this blog (and over 2 weeks of actually posting!) so I decided to review my work so far. What I found surprised me, and I don't mean the good kind of surprise either. Spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, indecipherable sentences -- they were all there. And what was I thinking when I put all those labels/tags there?

So I went through the posts and corrected some typos and grammar mistakes that I found (although I am pretty sure there are still many more) and of course, (by popular demand) got rid of most of the pointless labels.

I also made a few title/content changes here and there, since I was editing the posts anyway.

Exercise to the reader: see if you can spot the differences. Hint: I wouldn't dream of changing a title! (that should give you pointers to two posts that have changes.)

As for why the title of this post is "Re-View" with a hyphen... I reviewed my posts, so now you will have to re-view them! :D
