Speaking of the Earth, Earth Hour on the 27th of March is fast approaching, and we encourage all of you to switch off those lights at 20h30 and spend an evening around candles.
An anarchic friend of FTFA suggests that we all switch everything on for the five minutes leading up to Earth Hour to overload the power stations so that all will turn off for the hour and those that are still unaware and don’t participate will be forced to……
Seriously though it is about spreading awareness of the threats of climate change and whilst the hour is a good idea it is important for us to take action daily in reducing and offsetting our carbon footprints.
