E-Day in the UK
Posted by Jill  |  February 5, 2008 12:32 pm  |     |  Permalink

A very cool campaign is underway in the UK, asking its citizens to “leave it off” for 24 hours. The goal is to show that cutting home energy use can have an impact on climate change. “It will measure consumption during the 24 hours against a “business as usual” forecast, and report back what savings have been achieved.”

Dr. Matt Prescott, founder of E-Day, says, “We have 70% of the public saying they accept climate change and wanting to do something about it; but almost everybody feels powerless, and I wanted to find a way of making people feel powerful and that they could change something.”

We couldn’t agree more, Matt. Thanks for a great idea! E-Day is February 27th.
