So according to the timings on each post, there should be no posts between 1:55 and 2:00pm (New York time).

and no1 should be logged in either right?personally my heating is never on,lights r off except the room im sitting in, the kettle is only filled as much i need and i pay less than £10 a week for gas and electricity combined..candles are just as good as lights neway but to say im compleetly environmentally frinedly is wrong

as an action, turning off electricity for making the society/people aware of global warming is good...

But electricity has nothing to do with global warming...
it has much more with gasses out from the cars we use everyday... and industrial wastes...

This is so untrue Sui. Do you know that if everyone had ONE less lightbulb, each country could close down a power station? This alone would have a huge impact on global warming. Did you know also, that in China they still use coal to generate power and that the rate of new powerstations opening in China is currently ONE EVERY MONTH!!!

Industrial waste has been more controlled in the UK for some time now and there are far stricter rules about industrial power then domestic.

Of course we know gases from cars and even more importantly planes cause "greenhouse" gasses, are a major contributer to global warming but UNTIL GOVERMENTS take this seriously, people have to speak out and protest in any way they can.

see you are talking about "How" you produce electricity...
not about electricity itself...
i am not saying it is wrong to use the power carefully ofcourse...

there are lots of other ways to produce electricity...
magnectic fields, hydroelectric plants, or even if they use thermoelectric plants or nuclear plants... they HAVE to think how they will keep the wastes of these things...

you cant go anywhere with protesting on everychance... you have to do that on right time and right place... dont offend i am not saying you cant do it here... i am just stating my opinions about "electricity"

and do you know that with solar cells you have you can only turn the around %25max of the solar energy you have into electricity?-and these cells are very very expensive- instead of turning of the lights we have to find much more efficient ways to produce energy i say...

To do my small part for our environment...my New Years Resolution was to walk to class everyday and everywhere on Uni. Campus (30 min. from house) every day.

The -26C weather has tested my determination...But so far not once have I driven to campus...not even at night!!! Luckily I live in a small town with very nice sidewalks everywhere.

In addition to saving money on gas, saving our planet from automobile emissions, I have lost 8lbs. from just walking. HA! Who would have ever known? I challenge others to use mass transit, walk or bike.

Good luck!!! Our planet is worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course we are talking about "how electricity is produced" !!!!!! Did you think I was saying that a light bulb is giving off poisoness gas?

Electricity generation contributes 33% to global warming. To say it has no affect is ridiculous.

Until ALL countries accept this and utilise wind power, tidal power and solar power, then it will continue to increase, as in China.

In the area I live there was a proposal for a wind farm but residents protested because they didn't like the "look" of it near their homes. How ignorant - in 100 years time their homes will be under water because of the melting ice-caps!!!

In the UK, you have the option to have GREEN power. Every electricity company will offer you this, but you have to pay more for it, so many people don't opt for it. For me, its worth bigger bills...

How do they offer you green power options? I'm in the industry and that says scam all over it....

Friends of the Earth

This is how much of the electricy is produced by burning fossil fuels which emit CO2 gases.

We noticed that many houses being built in Turkey had solar panels installed but we were told that this would only be to heat the water.

So how is electrity produced in Turkey? Nuclear or fossil fuel power stations?

Then there is the methane gases produced by grazing cattle (yes apparently they fart alot), and from landfil sites, and this is controlled and burnt off otherwise there would be explosions if the site became unstable.

I am yet to research Turkey's environmental policies but I suspect they want to preserve such a wonderfully beautiful country.
