* EARTH HOUR - this coming Saturday.

WWF are leading the way with a call to arms this coming Saturday evening. We are all being asked to turn off our lights at 8.30pm for one hour.

This Earth Hour is being supported by an impressive array of companies, organizations and local authorities who all want to high light their concern for the lack of real progress on the issue of climate change.

This is a painless but very visible way of adding our voices to theirs so that politicians and leaders of all kinds get the message that the people of this country really care.

So, if it is at all practical, would you please support this by turning off your lights at 8.30pm on Saturday evening and resorting to candles instead.

Would you also forward this to family and friends as the more people who support this, the louder the message will be.
