@islandchic – I am fully aware of the impact that Global Warming will have on your country. I will do my best to create as much awareness as possible.

My lights will be switched off!

Thanks for the heads up!

That’s great, the more awareness that we generate, the better!

Thanks for the post! Awareness definitely is much needed! People like me need to keep our heads above water. We are almost under already. Shame, switch off your lights will ya?

Slight correction to your post – Earth Hour is from 20:30 – 21:30 on 28th March rather than the 27th.

But this blogger challenge is a great idea nonetheless!

@onelargeprawn – I heard so. The Earth Hour official colour is black, so it only makes sense. I did consider green, but none of the official brand identity has green in it.

Is the black screen purely to coincide with the Earth Hour colour?

I’m no electrician but I hear that a black screen on an LCD monitor uses more power – http://www.triplepundit.com/pages/askpablo-black-google.php
