Back to the topic...

The idea about saving earths limited resources is cool, but I dont think this is the best way to do that. If people really would like to do something about it, they should aplly preassure on governments, huge companies etc. However as long as money does the talking, protecting environment will be subsided.

Some time ago the lights of Eiffel Tower were shut off for five minutes for the sake of taking care of our homeplanet. I found that five minutes was kinda ridiculous... like what difference does it make. (And yes i know it was a symbolic act but I prefer straight action)

Just a quick thought there

Edit: Oh yeah, and instead of making these "blackouts" once a year you can save lots of more electricity/oil/money etc. by changing some nasty habits.

Well, the energy we save has to go somewhere, so I predict a rise in the number of births in December of this year.
