for those people that missed out on this action on feb 1st, rather than just switch off for 5 minutes, you can simply do something in your homes on a daily basis.
instead of just pushing the "off" button on electrical appliances, switch them all off at the power point when you aren't using them.
saves electricity, saves money, and less chance of fires starting

Thanks kai
İ checked them in a hurry now and they look really much helpful.
İ believe there was an agreement about the global warming in the UN,putting some rules.
But the biggest industrial countries refused to sign it,so this agreement project has failed.
Am i right,or have i mixed things up ?! :-S

Yes you are right, but until the USA, one of the biggest polluters in the world actually recognise global warming and ratify the agreement many of us are what we would say "pissing in the wind".
Also we have to think about what we purchase and where it comes from. CHINA!!! We subscribe to their pollution because just about anything material you buy comes from China and has to be transported half way round the world to get here (or where ever you live).
I go to an electronics fair in Hong Kong every year and there is nearly every country in the world represented there, so good are being shipped worldwide.
As a regular visitor to China to check factory conditions environmental impacts is also part of the remit. And you should see some of the factories polluting, poisonous fumes billowing into the atmosphere, rivers are black with fuel, rubbish, dead animals and even humans (and I have ssne one being pulled out of a river). Swarf from milling machines and hydraulic oil poored into the drains.
It was good to hear about France etc, but there was just a small mention about what France was doing, not that is should happen here as well, and by that time the moment had passed. Perhaps all the UK TC memeber should write to Tony Blair and ask why it was not publisised in the UK. Oh but then he has other issues...........

Hi Canli I am more than happy to give you links. I have numerous sites I could direct you to, but have given just three for now, two of which are mainly pictorial. Amazingly, there are some people who still dont take this problem seriously or even believe that it is happening. I have heard ignorant comments like "global warming is a myth" or even worse "so what? I am looking forward to hotter summers" 
Check the pictures (the BBC link has some great contrast photographs). Thanks - spread the word!!

"In my view, climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today -- more serious even than the threat of terrorism."
With this warning to an international science meeting in February 2004, David A. King, Chief Scientific Advisor to the British Government, brought the issue of global warming into sharp focus.
