As you can see from the bar on the top of the site (if you are reading this in your RSS reader, take a break and step out to the real site for a minute), Floating Sun is participating in Earth Hour. What is Earth Hour?:

Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

The funky bar is courtesy the earth hour plugin. Of course, just having a CSS distraction on the website doesn’t do much if it is not followed up by real action. I will be turning off the lights in my apartment at the prescribed time and so should you. I’ll also try to rope in as many of my friends as I can. Remember, this is about making a choice. A single lamp in your house for an hour probably feels trivial, but with millions of people, it adds up. Besides, it is a gesture to show your solidarity and support and committment.

Are you going to take part?
