URGENT!! ACTION AGAINST THE CLIMATIC CHANGES ! It’s about time that they hear our voices.


What do you think of it? Let’s close our lights on February 1st, 2007 from 7:55 pm to 8o’ clock .Participate at the biggest mobilization of citizens against the Climatic Change! The alliance for the Planet (grouping of environmental associations) throws a simple call to all citizens, 5 minutes of silence for the planet: everybody close their lights on February 1st, 2007 between 7:55 pm and 8 o’ clock at your local hour. It is not about saving 5 minutes of electricity solely that day, but to attract the attention of the citizens, the medias and decision-makers on the waste of energy and the emergency to do something about it! 5 minutes of silence for the planet: it doesn't take a long time, that doesn't cost anything, and that will show to the candidates in the legislative elections of June 2007 that the climatic change is a topic that must weigh in the political debate.

Why February 1st? That day , in Paris, the new report of the group of climatic experts of the United Nations will be “publish”. This event will take place at our neighbors: it is not necessary to let pass this opportunity to aim the spotlights on the emergency of the world climatic situation.

If we all participate , this action will have a real impact on the media and political scale , some months before the elections in France and long enough before the elections in Quebec and in Canada , so that that we can influence the debates between the politicians. For every time zone around the world, lights will die out between 7:55 pm and 8 o’ clock... the hour where this demonstration will be able to be observed by the local medias. One will be able to follow the successive “blackouts” at all hours according to the different time zones.

What ever your country is , our governments will be challenged by our common strength.
