Facing the unrecoverable environmental damages resulting from economic growth, I don't know what to say. A concert like this has a very good purpose, but if the government is not actively involved, how can the attendants (mostly fans) save Shanghai and save China? Ridiculous! Were there any rich people, any CEOs or executives? I've no more comments on this! No more words, just start from my own behavior and start from today. Think this would be fine!

But after reading this article, i am full of hope for China again. I trust China can Chinese can do very well in environmental protection and trust young Chinese generation can be the main power of environmental protection. Be better, China!

Such concerts are western world's brain child. It is another marketing gimmick through which more wealth, fame and power is created. Youth come to enjoy the concert, irrespective of whether it is environment, or human rights, or love! For them it is time to enjoy, have fun! Everyone including media makes merry - and the purpose is to create awareness - as if those who come to attend the concert do not know that they have to protect the environment? Everyone knows, but no one wants to commit their actions to save - just enjoy...No surprises if it is a washout. Shows sensible people in China.

The author is right that we should be optimistic to our future.

Actually the bick should and must stop at the organizers,they suck.A good concert,especially this kind of green one,should star form grassroot not top down.

What reaction will Chinese have? Making mistake is hackneyed, but if making the same mistake second time, we need think about it seriously.

I am not sure how much faith we should put into the fact that most people were students, white collar and middle-class. How can we tell that they had a serious interest in the environment? For some it may have been just another flashy event. Although looking towards the future for environmental change is crucial, we need to act now. Putting so much faith into future generations deviates from the urge to do more now. The poor attendance and media coverage remains deeply disappointing.

Shanghai is not a suitable place for environmental activities.
