5 minutes de répit pour la planète

The Alliance for the Planet is calling on all citizens to create five minutes of electrical rest for the planet on 1 February 2007.
Participez à la plus grande mobilisation citoyenne contre le changement climatique!
Why February 1st?
Because this is the day the new UN report on global climate change will be released in Paris.
- 19:55 in Paris, Bruxelles and Italy
- 13:55 in New York and Ontario
- 18:55 in London
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 and political weight.
This is not just about saving five minutes worth of electricity - this is about getting the attention of the media, the 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.
Don’t forget to unplug things like televisons because they are constantly using small amounts of energy thanks to their instant-on feature. Stoves and microwaves with clocks are in constant use. Unplug clock radios. Turn off your monitors.
