Turn everything off
On February 1st between 7:55 p.m. until 8 p.m.

Urgent: action against climate change
  On February 1st you can participate in the worldwide greatest action 
against climate change!!!
  Various environmental organizations are asking the peoples of this planet 
to hold 5 minutes of .silence.:
Everyone should turn off all lights, electricity etc. between 7:55 until 8 
p.m. to bring attention to other inhabitants, the media and politicians 
about the daily waste of energy.
An act which takes only 5 minutes, which costs nothing, but shows the 
governments that climate change should be on the top agenda of world 
politics.
Why this date?
On February 1st the United Nations is publicizing the newest results and 
knowledge base on climate change.
