It's only 10 minutes until the annual Earth Hour where the world is plunged into the dark ages to protest against the way we're destroying the planet... so I don't expect anyone will respond to this post for at least an hour.
It's great that we can protest against ourselves isn't it. We can turn all the lights off and show we care about our planet.
Village Cinemas is just one of the huge corporate identities joining in the protest. I know because I saw a big ad in the paper this morning saying "We are committed to Earth Hour!"
I'm not quite sure what they'll be doing... theoretically they should be turning all the lights off, including those huge ones in the projectors, as well as their sound systems, popcorn machines and cash registers.
But they do have ads promoting films that start between 8.30 and 9.30pm... so I had to scour the internet to find out what they were doing to show their commitment.
This is the only article I found and it's from last year, and take a look at this:
"the outdoor marquee (lit movie-listing sign) at the Village Rivoli cinema in Camberwell will be turned off."
Wow! They have inspired me!
The light in the bathroom is one right now and I'm in the lounge. I'm going to turn it off for the whole hour.
I'm committed too!
Well, I should be...
