Lights out everyone 1st of feb On the 1st February, 2007 throughout the world: CORRECT START TIMES - FRANCE - 7.55PM ENGLAND AND THE UK - 6.55PM USA AND CANADA - 7.55pm YOUR LOCAL TIME. Hope that makes things a little clearer. WEBSITE - For great daily tips on how to conserve energy please visit www.coolmove.org - thanks! The "Alliance pour la Planète" (a national grouping of environmental associations) appeals to all citizens to give the planet 5 minutes respite : Everybody to extinguish all their lights and illuminations and turn off equipment on stand-by on the 1st February 2007 from 18h55 until 19h00. (GMT) The purpose is not just to save electricity for 5 minutes that day, but to draw the attention of citizens, the media and the authorities to the waste of energy and the need to initiate action! 5 minutes respite for the planet: that's not long, it costs nothing and will show our politicians that climate change is something which should figure prominently in political debates. Why the 1st February? Because that is the day on which the latest report of the United Nations Panel of Experts is to be released in Paris. Although this event is scheduled to take place in France, we should not miss this opportunity of drawing attention to the global climatic situation. If we all participate our actions will have great public and political resonance, at an important moment in our political life.! Please make this appeal as widely known as possible in your own circles and networks ! please also publish it on your websites and in your newsletters. So dont just stop after this little event but carry on everyday being aware of the little things that you can do to save our world. TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT PEOPLE! REMEMBER TO POWER OFF!.. But please after the 5 mins think about if you actually need to power everything back on again. Lights Out is an everyday event, be aware of the little differences we can make in our lives.. if we all do them then we will have a great effect on the world! WANT TO SEE IF IT MADE A DIFFERENCE - go to http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/Electricity/Data/Realtime/Demand/Demand60.htm for real time electricity usage here in the UK. 5 mins is only small.. but will there be a drop!? |
