The Rolling Stones, along with NRDC (the Natural Resources Council) will stage a
special free concert on February 6 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to raise
awareness about global warming. Global warming is the toughest environmental
challenge yet, threatening the health of people, wildlife and economies around the
world.
"The Rolling Stones' commitment will help build unprecedented support for NRDC
efforts to fight global warming," said NRDC president John H. Adams. "The Rolling
Stones deserve a standing ovation for putting the environment on center stage."
A private, un-named donor is absorbing all event expenses.
