 Again courtesy of Hippyshopper, there is a story about "Lights Out London." On June 2nd from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m. many people participated in switching out their lights and other non-essential appliances for an hour, in a "symbolic stance against climate change."
The Lights Out London website claims, "An estimated 2 million light bulbs went out around the capital, saving roughly 750 MWh of electricity in just one hour – enough to run 3,000 televisions for a year."
I think it is just so cool that something that big went down. That so many people saw a need to ban together and show their support for making a change in the environment. This is proof that people can make a difference, even if only one light bulb at a time. =o)Labels: climate change, electricity |
