Lights Out London – June 21st
If I still lived in London I would be taking part in this. Although London looks amazing a night with all the lights on it would be great to see it for once with them all off. It would interesting to see how much money those big office buildings save on their leccy bills by turning all their lights off for one night. You never know they might think about turning them all off regularly!
If you are taking part it shouldn’t be just for one night either and you don’t need to live in London either. Switch off lights when you leave a room, switch to low energy light bulbs and turn off those pesky appliances that are normally left on standby. It makes sense to your wallet as well as the planet!
hey there,
I support this type of initiative. Myself I try to reduce electricity consumption, counting on day light most of the time :)
Huge efforts have to be made to make our buildings more energy efficient as I’ve heard no later than at lunch today that their share in our global energy consumption reaches something like 40% (figure to be verified).
Let’s make the lights out day a success, whether we’re in London or not !
Cheers
