5-minute break for climate change

just received this tonight. I'm in! hard to say how effective it might be but hey, it's free and you have to do basically nothing for 5 minutes!

> Be part of the widest action plan of world's citizens against global
> warming and climate change!
>
> To protest against Climate change around the world, give the earth a 5
> minutes break. February 1st from 7:55 pm (19:55) to 8:00 pm (20:00),
> Everyone should close all lights and electric facilities for 5 big
> minutes. Do it respecting your local time zone, therefore the
> demonstration will be active according to time zones around the world.
>
> This isn't about sparing 5 minutes of hard labor and energy use, it is
> about protesting about something bigger. It is about raising the issue
> into political debates, be it in Canada or in Europe... or anywhere
> else.
>
> We hope for an important media coverage of this action, but for it to
> happen, we need everyone's participation.
