As for industry asking people to conserve.... mmm.... don't know about that one....
Governments are doing that though, there is already pressure which has lead to incentives for fuel efficient vehicles and a tax placed on SUVs. Really does a concert however change much in people's minds... no it just means that they got to listen to their favorite band. Do you think people turned into Live Aide because of people in Africa?

People for the most part will have turned in to watch their favorite performer and not because they have some undying love for the enviroment that will be confirmed by a lead singer
