Earth Hour 2008

To all,

On March 29, 2008 at 8 pm until 9 pm, "let's turn our lights out" for Earth Hour - an event that will fuel awareness on climate change and prove that when the people of the world work together, they can make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Launched in Australia on the 31st of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. This massive collective effort reduced the city's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

My home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia is participating in it this year too. I am going to power down as much as possible. New baby is not all that partial to the dark so gotta leave a few on.

 

This is an initiative largely sponsored by a left wing Sydney newspaper and to even suggest that it has more than marginal support and interest is wrong,despite the blaring headlines.
It is merely a publicity stunt!
It is also symbolic of turning off the lights and going back to the Dark Ages.

edit;Anyway,what does this have to do with Software and Services?
