7 continents. 6.6 billion people. 1 hour.


If you care about what's happening to the environment, would you be prepared to give one hour of your life if you thought it would make a difference?

You won't have to go anywhere.
No marches or demos to get to.
No distributing of leaflets or flyposting will be involved.
And it won't cost you a single penny - quite the reverse.

All you have to do is switch off all your appliances for one hour tomorrow (Saturday 29th March) at 8pm.

Is that too much to ask?

To see who will be joining with you in this initiative, check the Earth Hour blog here and the website here.

Thanks for the reminder to she who always backs up her words with action - the inimitable Sharon J.

Less to unplug, eh? What matters is the focus we all bring to bear and you certainly did that.

And so did we in our way - see next post! x
