What To Do On February 1st

Stereotype

An action against the climate change.

On february 1st - you can take part in one of the biggest actions against
climate change forced by the people.
L'Alliance pour la Planate (a group of environmental activists
http://www.lalliance.fr/) calls to all civilians:

Make our planet rest for five minutes!
Everybody is reqested to dimm his/her lights for five minutes between 7.55
pm and 8.00pm on february first. This not only to save engergy for five
minutes, but to bring out a message that will attract the attention of
politicians and leaders. It is time for them to take action and avoid the
waste of energy.

During 5 minutes we'll give the planet a rest: it doesn't take long and it
won't cost you a thing. And it will make a statement before federal
elections that we as citizens want climate on the agenda.

Not to be a dick or anything. And I'm defiantly not trying to discourage this but with time changes and everything....how is that going to work? Would military time sync up the times?

no military time will not synch up the times. but what will happen is for 5 minutes every hour or whatever as 7:55pm travels across the globe, the earth will get a rest.

Yup as catefrances said...
But if you want to be syncronised with Central European Time or something just calculate all of the time differences and then put the lights off..
Maybe it's not even so important that you're precisely on time but that you just do it.
