Google Earth Hour
I got a bit of a shock this morning when I realised google had gone black. I seriously thought that something was wrong with my computer, maybe a weird insternal style sheet or something! Well as it turns out its Earth Hour later today – from 8pm local time, when we should all turn out lights of to save electricity and raise awareness of global warming. google one Google!
Interestingly the UK version of this site has the following information not shown on the US version:
How green can you be? The UK’s carbon footprint is over 500 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Individuals account for 45% of this. Calculate your carbon footprint and find out how you can reduce it by turning off unused lights and other carbon-reducing actions.
Indeed, on the US version there is no link to the carbon foot print calculator, I wonder why? National politics maybe?
