People, organisations and governments around the world are turning their lights off at 8:30 tonight for 1 hour to enhance awareness of energy use and climate change.

Close to impossible. I am finding it surprising how little I know my own house and I have only lived here 25 years.

Ive got a wind up (well thinking about it it's actually a pump action one) much easier than using batteries which dont last five minutes You only do about 3/4 pumps and it lasts for ages well impressed

I recon that all the energetic equipment in gymnasiums  ought to have charging generator fitted and as you cycle or row you could charging up the lighting of the building you were in.
At least if you were not getting fit you would be doing something useful.

The people using all that equipment should be obliged to put that energy they expend to good use instead of wasting it!
