No doubt you will have heard of this already
B L A C K O U T L O N D O N (& other parts of UK) 4th November 2006
Starting at Sunset - 4.30 pm to 7.30 pm You are invited to take part in thelargest demonstration of People Power that London (and the UK) has ever seen
on Saturday 4th November 2006, by turning off all your lights, and switching
off all your non-essential electrical equipment at Sunset.
Climate Change is already compromising the water supply, crops, habitat and livelihoods of
millions of people worldwide, and threatens to undermine the Global Economy
within a few decades, as well as creating waves of Climate Refugees, and
driving countless animals and plants to extinction. The principal cause of
Global Warming is Carbon Dioxide rising emissions into the atmosphere from
the burning of Fossil Fuels, for electricity generation, transport,
manufacturing, industry, space heating and air conditioning.

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, THE FOURTH OF NOVEMBER ! For one day in November, people are being asked to think about what they can turn off, switch off and unplug, to show
support. If successful the power demand in the United Kingdom will reduce so
much that the newspapers are obliged to report it. The organisers want the
lights to go out in London, so that on the evening of 4th November 2006, the dimming effect will be visible from space.
To protect us from the Enemy of Climate Change, we need a War on Energy
Abuse. Just like Britain during World War Two, we need to see a Blackout all
over London. CELEBRATE THE NIGHT OF POWER : TURN OFF ! SWITCH OFF ! UNPLUG !
Including:
€ Switch off your set-top boxes
€ Pull all the chargers out of the wall sockets
€ Turn off lights in any room you are not using
€ Switch off any machine with a digital clock in it
€ Unplug the hi-fi and the TV and the games console
€ De-frost your freezer
€ Switch off your fridge for a couple of hours
€ Turn the central heating thermostat down to 16 degrees and put a woolly
sweater/jumper on if you're cold.
