Feb 1 for the environment - dim the lights

I don't know if this is true or not but i like the idea of just reminding everybody of our mother earth and how we are treating it so badly and we just think "this small contribution won't do a thing," but actually it does.. i just think it's more powerful if we think of something which is not as clean as electricity.. at least it's renewable :D unlike many of our precious resources that we just misuse and over consume daily like oil, water, or gas.

"
Make our planet rest for five minutes!

Everybody is requested to dim his/her lights for five
minutes between 7.55pm
and 8.00pm on February first. This not only to save
energy for five minutes,
but to bring out a message that will attract the
attention of politicians
and
leaders. It is time for them to take action and avoid
the waste of energy.

During 5 minutes we'll give the planet rest: it
doesn't take long and it
won't cost you a thing. And it will make a statement
before federal
elections
that we as citizens want climate on the agenda.

And why February 1st?

Because on that day a new file from climatological
experts from the United
Nations will be published in Paris. Because it is with
our neighbors it is
impossible to let this opportunity slip! We have to
get attention to the
urgent matter of the worlds climatological situation.
If everybody takes
part
in this action it will have an effect on media and
politics that might have
a
real influence, this would be good on such short
notice before the (Belgian)
elections! "
