kipper Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Just been sent an email about a campaign to blackout London and other parts of the UK on the 4th of Novemeber after Dusk. (4.30pm -7.30pm) The idea is to save energy by turning off all your appliances and lights in your home. A link to the campaign is http://www.workface-limited.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A link to the campaign is http://www.workface-limited.co.uk/ I dont think the idea is to save energy, but to highlight the amount of useless waste of energy we use daily.. they want the drop in demand during those hours to be so great that it will be reported.

sugarcube Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 theyre never going to turn off the street lights, blackout is a bit of a mis-representation. nice idea, just think they need a new PR/marketing team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I think its an excellent idea to illustrate the growing energy crisis in the world at present. Sheffield should go with this. As long as they dont expect Leicestershire to do it either, cos if they do, then they can SOD OFF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
