Earth Hour - 29th March - 8.30pm (your local time)Info above
(click on picture for link)
One hour (8:30PM local time, wherever you live on planet earth) of 'non-essential' electricity shut down around the world. So if I do my math that ensures that each 'room' (or time zone) on earth will be darker/less energy sapping than usual. Or if you look at it in another way the earth will have 24 hours of less electricity consumption around the world...right...?
Anyway... Saturday 28 March 2009, 8.30pm, your local time, turn the leccy off.
Simple no?
Let's save those monkeys in the forest OK!?! And other creatures of this planet, including us of course... Anyway... Saturday 28 March 2009, 8.30pm, your local time, turn the leccy off.
Simple no?

Click above to play The Story of StuffMarvellous 20 minute film about the story of the everyday materials we extract, use, abuse and throw away. It took her ten years to investigate and well worth the wait I'd say.
What amazes me is that it was one man - Victor LeBeau - after World War II who declared that society should have the mass choice we see today on our shelves, websites and showrooms.

“Our enormously productive economy…demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…we need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate.” - Victor LeBeau, Retail Analyst Post WWII
Fantastic film. It should be shown on TV.
