Worldwide darkness: On September 17th 2008, from 21:50 hours to 22:00 hours in the local time of your country.
The proposal is to turn off all lights and as many electrical appliances as possible, to give our planet a "breather". If participation is overwhelming, the energy saving may be huge. Just shut everything down for ten minutes. Ten minutes of darkness, together with the planet. Remember: unity is power. Spread the word.
Impact of Global Warming:
* An increase in the number and size of fires, resulting in the loss of thousands of hectares per year
* Increased melting of Glaciers and consequently of sea level
* Reduction of the ozone layer
* An increase in average temperatures
* Loss of productivity of crops
* Increased Mortality
* Extinction of species
* Increased virulence of natural phenomena
* Reduction in productivity of marine waters, and therefore, for fisheries
