This just in ~sorry for the late notice
On 1 February 2007, please participate in the biggest mobilization of Citizens Against Global Warming to date!
The Alliance for the planet (a group of environmental associations) http://www.1alliance.fr
(I know nothing about this organization-but I advocate the idea) is calling on all citizens ALL OVER THE WORLD to create
5 minutes of electrical rest for the planet.
People in eastern North America turn off their lights and electrical appliances on the first of February 2007, between 1:55 PM and 2:00
PM, (and 18.55 for London, and 19.55 for Paris, Bruxelles, and Italy, 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 our selves.
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 debates.
Why February 1st? 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 all.
If we all participate, this action can have real media and political weight. Please circulate this to your utmost ability in whatever way you can.

Small correction - the link should be http://www.lalliance.fr/ (and you'll need to be able to read French, or babelenglish!)
Thanks for catching the typo in the link!
