On March 1st, from 8:55-9:00 pm, turn off all your lights and electrical items for five minutes. Go outside and look at the stars, the trees, the clouds, anything. Revel in the beauty of nature. Here's some more info(I'm even making this entry public): <br />Action for global energy saving <br /><br />Just turn off your lights, turn off a light, unplug a cell phone charger thats not in use, do something...<br /><br />Make March 1st 2007, another large citizen mobilisation against global warming. <br />This is Alliance pour la Planète (a group of several environemental associations)'s simple plea to every one of us all over the globe, a five-minute break for the Earth: everybody turns off all lights on March 1st, from 7:55pm to 8:00pm at their local time. This is not only to save 5 minutes of electricity on that day, but also to grab the attention of other citizens and of the media and inform them about waste of energy and why it is important to take action. 5 minutes for our planet; it's not that big of a deal, it's free, and it will show your politicians that the environement is still something that needs to be discussed. <br /><br /><br />If each and every one of us joins in, this action will have a valuable impact on both medias and governments. For each time zone, the lights will go out from 7:55pm to 8:00pm... the time at which the action can be observed by local media. It could be on the news at every hour, in every time zone, at different times. <br /><br />No matter what country you live in, your government will be moved by our common strenght. <br /><br />Translate this message in your language and send this message to everybody around you.
