Wonderful initiative!
Probably some day we will see a kind of “Live Earth” but with cities connected all over the world disconnecting lamps all together!
Anyway, disconnecting lamps doesn’t solve anything but it’s a good campaign to start talking more and more about the subject and there is always someone that makes the difference… we can all make it!
