[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 32405, member: 1991"] This wasn't a government thing in any way, although our political parties have finally got the message that green wins votes. It's tragic to watch them scramble to learn the jargon and try to sound convincing... embarrassing, too. No, this was an initiative by various media groups and others. One of their first targets was the government - when first approached, our Federal government were insistent that city office blocks had to have all their lights on for security reasons. Our government is often quoting 'security' as a reason for anything, to try to shut off debate. But it didn't wash this time. We had posters, they had t-shirts, there was a website to register (we didn't, though) and I think it will snowball from here. There were even people ringing in to radio stations with ideas on how to spend that hour in the dark. Marg [/QUOTE]
