OT- Global Warming Observance

[Guest guest]

The 1st of February 2007:

Participate in the biggest mobilization of Citizens

Against Global Warming!

The Alliance for the Planet [a group of environmental

associations] is calling on all citizens to create 5

minutes of " electrical rest " for the planet.

People all over the world should turn off their lights

and electrical appliances on the first of February

2007, between 1.55 pm and 2.00 pm in New York , 18.55

for London , and 19.55 for Paris , Bruxelles, and

Italy . 1.55 pm in Ottawa , 10.55 am on the Pacific

Coast of North America .

This is not just about saving 5 minutes worth of

electricity; this is about getting the attention of

the media, politicians, and ourselves. Five minutes of

electrical down time for the planet: this does not

take long, and costs nothing, and will show all

political leaders that global warming is an issue that

needs to come first and foremost in political debate.

Why February 1?

This is the day when the new UN report on global

climate change will come out in Paris . This event

affects us all, involves us all, and provides an

occasion to show how important an issue global warming

is to us. If we all participate, this action can have

real media attention and political weight.

Please circulate this to your all your networks.
