ONE HOUR NO POWERAt midday on Sunday July 1st 2007 we are asking everyone concerned about the effects of climate change to simply turn everything (non-vital) off for an hour.
Another idea for us to increase awareness, save the world (hey, small steps make all the difference), and get off our butts for a while.
Can you go one hour without power? It seems like such a small thing, but no computer, no kettle, no oven, no electric heaters, no stereo, no car, no television etc.
It's only one hour... Rediscover card games, go for a walk, play with the kids (or the neighbours dog, or the old guy round the corner, or the cats toys...) read a book or have a good chat face to face (no email! haha!).

It's winter in NZ right? Does it get very cold where you are? It'll be summer here but it sounds like a great idea. The kids and I can go hang out in the pool for an hour and make sure the air conditioning & T.V. are off.
It's about 12 degrees c today, with a southerly wind (might sound nice to you, but to us here, that's a breeze coming from the icy land of Antarctica. Brrrr)
Cold - yes! But not THAT cold. We don't get snow here. We're averaging 10 - 14 degree c (50 - 57 f) days and down to zero (32) overnight. Brrr!
I'm happy though, because we've passed the shortest day, summer is creeping up on us (SLOWLY!).
Summer is definitely a better season to do the hour without power!
