Heya guys i've just received an e-mail saying.........:
Darkness world: On September 17, 2008 from 21:50 to 22:00 hours.
Proposes to delete all lights and if possible all electrical
appliances, to our planet can 'breathe'.
if the answer is massive, energy saving can be brutal.
Only 10 minutes, and see what happens.
Yes, we are 10 minutes in the dark, we light a candle and simply
Be looking at it, we breathe and our planet.
Remember that the union is strength and the Internet can be very power and can
Even do something big.
do u think it will work ??? and if it does would it make any difference ??????????? by saving those 10 minutes of energy world wide ??????

Err....We had Earth Hour, which we took part in. Earth Hour seemed to be mostly in Australia but happened in New York, Tokyo and many other cities as well around the world.
(We just set up a laptop and watched a movie on battery power for an hour :XD:)

it'll have the same effect as if all the folk in China were to jump up and down at excactly the same time.
They may only be standing in a square foot of earth but beneath each square foot is millions of tonnes of rock

I agree, I can imagine the effect would be very negligable, as there are things which cannot be shut off for anything.
And off topic, Spidey, your avatar rocks! Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

If all electricity usage in the world stopped for 10 minutes (and wasn't replaced by other forms of energy usage), then it would be a massive saving in energy consumed.

Well, I think "Earth Hour (http://www.earthhour.org/)" was more coordinated and thought out than this attempt....
Why will this attempt PHAIL COMPLETELY?!?
Because it gives no indication of TIME ZONE, so ppl turning things off for 10 measly minutes around the globe - at different times - won't cause a "breath of relief" for our planet at all....
Best thing overall would be to try to get ppl to reduce their power consumption "as much as can possibly be done" something like the first day of EVERY MONTH. (It's about energy consumption AWARENESS, NOT ONE-TIME SAVINGS! :doh: )
