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 to reduce carbon emissions by taking the train or bus to Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex, or by carpooling with 4 or more people. 

The most efficient way to reduce travel emissions to Makuhari Messe 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.

From Tokyo or New Tokyo International Airport

 Train to Makuhari Messe: Detailed train information to the Kaihan Makuhari Station is at www.m-messe.co.jp/access/train_access_e.html

 Bus to Makuhari Messe: Detailed bus information to the Kaihan Makuhari Station, Town Center, or Makuhari Messe Chuo Bus Stops are at www.m-messe.co.jp/access/keisei_e.html

Makuhari Messe is conveniently located halfway between central Tokyo and the New Tokyo International Airport (Narita Airport). The airport can be reached by bus in 30 minutes. Tokyo Station is also only 30 minutes away by train (the JR Keiyo Line).

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!).  

Apart from minimizing your transport emissions to Makuhari Messe you can also offset any remaining emissions*.   Live Earth will be making this process simple.  Stay tuned for details at www.liveearth.org.

Thank you for ANSWERING THE CALL -- we look forward to seeing you at Live Earth in the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex.

* 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.
