Darkness in the World

Now here is an interesting idea...

"On September 17, 2008 from 9:50pm to 10:00pm.
We propose to turn off all lights and if possible all electrical appliances, so our planet can 'breathe'.
If the answer is massive, energy saving can be enormous.
Only 10 minutes - let's see what happens.
Yes, we will be 10 minutes in the dark, but we can light a candle and simply
be looking at it. This way we and our planet breathe.
Remember that there is strength in numbers! The Internet can be very powerful and we can really accomplish something big."

Why not take part of that movement? It's just 10 minutes, for one lonely night in the entire year, and who knows... maybe one small action could have a great big impact in the world...
We can make a difference.

Taking IT Global - Commitments


June 10, 2008 | 2:06 AM Comments  0 comments



Interesting FACEBOOK Application

Facebook has an interesting feature, which allows people to raise money for a variety of causes, join different groups, and even install easy to use applications that will help NGOs fund their projects.

One interesting application is the (Lil) Green Patch application. This application, as stated in the name, adds a green patch on your profile, alongside a plant. The more plants you have, and the more you receive, the more money will be donated by sponsors for the preservation of the rainforests.

More than that, it has an interactive feature. Aside from being able to send plants to your friends (a limit of 20 plants a day), you can also help take care of your friends' patches, and in doing so, earn Green Bucks which you can use to by "tools" to help care for those patches. It's fun, easy to use, and helps the environment. It takes very little effort to add that application, so what are you waiting for?
We can make a difference.

Is it possible?
About this commitment: To not be late

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I'm Brazilian and we are late for everything, which is usually an acceptable behavior, as long as you are not too late (over an hour) but it can still be annoying, so I will work against my genetic predisposition to never be on time for anything...
