Grant the planet a 5 minutes break!
On the 1st February we should TURN OFF ALL LIGHTS from 19h55 till 20h00. (7h55pm till 8h00pm, On Canary Islands: from 6h55pm till 7h00pm)
Action against the climate changes. Participate on the 1st February with the biggest mobilisation of citizens against the changes in our climate! The French group of environmental organisations alliance pour la planete has called all citizens to GRANT THE PLANET A 5 MINUTES BREAK! We ask you to turn off all the lights on 1st February, between 7h55pm and 8h00pm (Canary Islands from 6h55pm till 19h00pm). This is not about saving 5 minutes energy that day, but to draw the attention of all citizens, the media as well as the politicians, to the energy waste and the necessity of doing something before it is too late. During 5 minutes the planet will be given a break, it will not take long and will not cost you anything. It will also make clear to politicians and all candidates for the parliamentary elections of June 2007 that the changes in the climate need to be taken in account! Why did we pick 1st February? Because the day after the new report made by climatological experts from UN will be presented in Paris. This taking place in a neighbouring country, we should also try to draw the attention to the urgent matter of taking care of our planet, and if we all unify our forces and do this, this action will represent us and will have both political influence as well as influence the media. Please forward this email, add the message in your newsletters and your blogs… and don’t forget to switch off your lights on 1st February!
