32-365

This evening I dined by candlelight, turning out the lights and helping out in giving 5 minutes respite for the planet.

 

This action was started by some French environmental groups, including my colleagues at Friends of the Earth France, on the eve of the release of the big climate change report that's hopefully been all over your tv screens.

 

The action was originally aimed at French citizens to show their government they want action on climate change, but it seems they're not the only ones .

 

Apparently, they were even going to switch off the 10,000 light bulbs on the Eiffel Tower.

 

And it's spread to Brazil, Lithuania, Belgium and the Netherlands to name a few countries.

 

Sometimes my job makes me proud.
