I don't know how many of you guys who will see this in time for it, but I'll give it a shot anyway. It's too important to not bother.

Our climate is warming up, and to put it in the way I see it - we're slowly killing the reason we're living.
Tonight, at 19.55 CET (Central European Time; Stockholm, Rome, etc.), people all over the world are encouraged by Planet Alliance to let all of their electricity rest for 5 minutes, and let the world breathe.
I know it's only 1 hour left to go, but even if you can't make it 'til then, then try doing it another time. It means a lot...
I don't know how interested you guys are about this "climate threat", but I sure am and I'd love to see more people getting interested.
This is the world that I'm supposed to live my life in, and - oh, how dramatic this sounds, but - I really don't want to see the planet change as much as everyone says it will.
I mean, think about it - Katrina (hurricanes), the tsunami, the meltdown of our icy parts of the world, the very weird weather (I heard that L.A. was closing down to the freezing point a few weeks ago!)... I think it's scary!
Ever since I saw The Day After Tomorrow, I really have been engaged in this matter.
And it was really sad for me to realise that the white and snowy winters that used to be, no longer will come.
I hate this rainy, gray weather - I tell you. I HATE IT.
So, for everyone living in this world (including me and my beloved snowy white winters ), please - let the world breathe. _________________
