Missy Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I received this Email last night from my Parisian brother :>>> Le 1er février 2007, dans toute la France : Participez à la plus grande mobilisation des citoyens contre le Changement Climatique !L'Alliance pour la Planète (groupement national d'associations environnementales) lance un appel simple à tous les citoyens, 5 minutes de répit pour la planète : tout le monde éteint ses veilles et lumières le 1er février 2007 entre 19h55 et 20h00.Il ne s'agit pas d'économiser 5 minutes d'électricité uniquement ce jour-là, mais d'attirer l'attention des citoyens, des médias et des décideurs sur le gaspillage d'énergie et l'urgence de passer à l'action 5 minutes de répit pour la planète : ça ne prend pas longtemps, ça ne coûte rien, et ça montrera aux candidats à la Présidentielle que le changement climatique est un sujet qui doit peser dans le débat politique.Pourquoi le 1er février ? Ce jour là sortira, à Paris, le nouveau rapport du groupe d'experts climatiques des Nations Unies. Cet événement aura lieu en France : il ne faut pas laisser passer cette occasion de braquer les projecteurs sur l'urgence de la situation climatique mondiale . Si nous y participons tous, cette action aura un réel poids médiatique et politique, moins de trois mois avant l'élection présidentielle !Faites circuler au maximum cet appel autour de vous et dans tous vos réseaux ! Faites-le aussi apparaître sur votre site Internet et dans vos newsletters. Contact/ information : Cyrielle, Les Amis de la Terre : 01 48 51 18 95<<<His comment was : I am curious to know what will happen in all these households, right across the country, during these 5 minutes of living with a candle light...To which I answered : Let's see what happens in October... The governement of the time may well put up your taxes to pay for a sudden surplus of 'allocation familliale' to be paid [Www] Be very mindful of whom you vote for in April/May!!

Cassis Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Surely this action is not required - the BBC (no less) reported today that France has the highest birthrate in 'western' Europe. I - or rather they - do not need further encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
