Earth Hour 2008

I'm participating.
I heard that people in Sydney did that and the lights turned off was equivalent to taking off 45,000 cars off the road.

Darn, I was going to start this thread as well, thanks though. =)

I'm participating too. I've been involved in urging action for addressing global warming for the past 10 years. Take action now buddies! =)

Have any of you heard about the CERN dispute with the particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland? Hawaiian Court. A lot of people are against it. It's shocking. =O

so at 8pm my time shut it down
for how long though?

1 hour Check out google.com right now. It's black It also has info on the event.

It isn't black here. Seems like all their datacenters aren't updated simultaneously.

I know how it looks though. It's not the first time that google participates, they have done it before. I believe they do it every once in a while now.

ahh, different time zones here's a preview for ya. i actually like the black google - reminds me of the old days of the internet when all websites were black, hehe:

yeah its only 2 30pm here so i have a few hour to go
and i love the black google

You have 1/2 hour left bhast2. Google page is only black if you go to their universal search page. If you go to a particular country page for example, Google China, the page is still white.
