turn off, tune out, unplug - it's earth hour

Earth Hour is happening on Saturday 8.30 pm local time globally – idea is you power down in the darkness for an hour, drink some ale and contemplate our obscene energy use and general carbon heavy lifestyles. Then start to make some changes in your day to day life. It’s all good. Sign up and get involved.

Some people question what's the point of an hour? Well the point is to use the time to reflect on our energy addiction, then try and actually make some conscious effort moving forward to become less dependent and more aware of our ridiculousness around lighting, heating, charging, powering, general energy use and overall consumption madness.
Still not convinced? Go watch age of stupid, that should get you thinking.

Anyway I've been working with Nokia on their energy awareness work and here's another way to get involved around earth hour and beyond. We're trying to get the message out that as we all charge our phones like lunatics, sucking chargers left plugged in everywhere, charging through the night etc etc, we need to nip this madness in the bud. Get some charging discipline and that. So go create your own socket face and pledge some energy goodness.

Home to millions of species,[11] including humans, Earth is the only place in the Universe where life is known to exist. The planet formed 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface within a billion years. Since then, Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms as well as the formation of the ozone layer which, together with Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land.[13] The physical properties of the Earth, as well as its geological history and orbit, have allowed life to persist during this period. The world is expected to continue supporting life for another 1.5 billion years, after which the rising luminosity of the Sun will eliminate the biosphere.
