You know that bigger boat? It’ll need to be an ark if we don’t slow down global warming. The damage is being done so fast and it takes a small effort on our parts to slow it down and make a real difference. The Wilkins Ice shelf is a prime example.
Around the world, businesses, towns, cities and individuals are turning off the lights for an hour. Last year it was on March 31st, this year it’s today, March 29th and it’s at 8pm.

But why would you? I mean, it’ll be dark right? Does it mean the computer and TV too? Should we turn everything off?
I will be.
In Sydney last year even the harbour bridge and opera house turned off their lights. The estimate that if the effort was sustained over a year it would have the same effect on greenhouse gas emissions as taking over 48,000 cars off the road.
Scary isn’t it? How much do you care? Do you care enough to turn out your lights for just one hour?
This is why I run my business the way I do, this is why I live the way I do. It’s all about small changes making a huge difference.
