Are you participating in 1day
ref #353
http://www.1day2007.org - 1day is a call to every person to take one day off on the 21 March 2007 and make the smallest possible carbon footprint.
Try not to drive or use public transport rather walk or bike, turn off all electrical appliances you can, try not to cook, eat simple food. Spend time at home with your family and friends or go walking, see how creative you can be, plant a tree, but use no or as little energy as possible.
Turn off the TV, turn off the Internet, turn off the phone.
Right now we are faced with the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. This is a fact, no matter what anyone says, in our hearts we know that it is the truth. Any person in this world that is 20 years old will probably have seen changes in their climate in that short time.
Climate change and global warming is not something that is going to happen, it has started, it is happening right now.
1day is our day to celebrate our home, to pay thanks to it. Every year in every country on Earth, we have hundreds of different holidays to remember and celebrate things of the past. 1day is a day to celebrate the future. It is a day that we give to today's children.
1day is a message to governments that we support their recent positive actions on climate change and we need more of them.
1day is a choice, not a protest.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN 1day! Please tell everyone and ask your friends and family to participate in 1day - after all it is only one day.

Spread the word about this RFO:
It is interesting that Co2 is seen as a pollutant, it isn't (any more than Oxygen is) it is a requirement of life. I don't believe that the full facts on 'Global Warming' are being discussed, the Earth regularly has cycles of temperature changes and there are good arguments that changes in temperature in fact cause changes in Co2 levels rather than the other way round (Al Gore’s video was particularly misleading on that). Did you know that decomposing plant matter creates far more Co2 than transport does; that the oceans create far more Co2 than all our industrial output; that pre 1920’s when world industrial output was a fraction of what it is now, the temperature rise was equivalent or greater than it is now; that during the war years through to the 50s & 60s when there was massive industrial production (with little or no anti pollution efforts), there was global cooling and people were forecasting the next ice age?? There is more – I believe this is a political argument rather than a scientific one…
