Al Gore’s environmental organization Live Earth has taken money to raise awareness about the need for clean water from a controversial chemicals company involved in the aftermath of one of the world's worst pollution disasters.
Dow Chemical, the US firm which now owns the leaking pesticides factory responsible for thousands of deaths in Bhopal, India, sponsored Live Earth events in 150 cities this past week. The event aimed to raise money for clean water programs. Research by environmental organizations has found dangerous levels of highly toxic chemicals in rivers, lakes and other water supplies close to several other factories owned by Dow and its subsidiaries in countries including the United States, Brazil and South Africa.

I think your first sentence is erroneous. Kevin Wall founded Live Earth, inspired by Mr. Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth. Granted, Mr. Gore's organizations are listed as non profit partners, but I do not believe Live Earth was founded or is Al Gore's organization solely. After saying that however, I am very disappointed that Live Earth would have Bhopal DOW as a sponsor and know for a fact they are feeling the heat because of it.
