Earth Hour

30 March 2008

Between 8 and 9pm tonight, hopefully millions of people around the world will take part in Earth Hour 2008 – a WWF initiative asking people to turn their lights off for one hour – following the success last March in Sydney.

Their inspirational collective effort reduced the city’s energy consumption by a whopping 10.2% during that hour – equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road.

I just hope my neighbour pays attention for once after the lunar eclipse debacle – it’s OK there’s no chance of him reading this However, there is the issue of those damn solar powered garden lights everywhere nowadays – could be rising to the top of my pet hates, along with driving in the wrong lane on motorways, headlights on during the day and caravans!! Don’t get me started…. you can tell it’s foul weather out there, more time on the computer today.
