It's how you get there that counts!
Live Earth is committed to producing the most eco-friendly series of concerts
possible. To do this, we are taking important steps to minimize each concert's
carbon footprint, from powering the stage with clean energy, transporting
artists to the venue in low-emission, alternative fuel vehicles, and encouraging
ticket holders to take advantage of their public transportation options.
Audience travel accounts for the vast majority of a concert's impact on our
climate -- as much as 50%! You can ANSWER THE CALL by taking public
transportation or by carpooling with 4 or more people to Giants Stadium.
The most efficient way to reduce travel emissions to Giants Stadium is to
catch the bus or train, and we have outlined your mass transit options
below. Please book early to make sure that you get to the concert on
time.

If you absolutely have to drive, which is the least carbon-efficient
option, use a fuel efficient car and travel with friends (at least 4 to a
car!). Also, please note that, due to construction, parking at the
Stadium will be very limited
If you purchased tickets prior to June 4th, you will be sent a permit that
allows entrance to the Meadowlands Sports Complex Parking
Lots. If you purchased tickets June 4th and after, you will be
sent a permit to park at a remote shuttle lot.
Apart from minimizing your transport emissions to Giants Stadium you can also
offset any remaining emissions*. Live Earth is making this process simple; all
you have to do is log on to www.liveearth.org/shopping.php
Thank you for ANSWERING THE CALL -- we look forward to seeing you at Live
Earth Giants Stadium.
* Carbon offsetting refers to the purchase of greenhouse gas emission credits
to compensate the climate change emissions associated with a given activity,
product, production process, company, or individual. These credits are generated
from projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
