Has anyone else heard about e-day? I was invited to the event on Facebook and have been trying to encourage friends to 'take part' too, to see what sort of difference can be made.

From their website:

"Energy Saving Day (E-Day) will be happening between 6pm on Wednesday 27 February 2008 and 6pm on Thursday 28 February. Over 24 hours, E-Day will be trying to show how even small energy saving measures can be made to add up, and potentially play a part in tackling climate change.

Everyone who wants to take part in E-Day is being asked to leave off household electrical items, which do not need to be on, and to leave these items off for as long as possible.

These might include lights in rooms that are not being used, televisions left on standby, mobile phone chargers left plugged in, unused printers, etc, etc."

I've said I'm attending on Facebook, although I don't use much leccy on work days anyway.
