From 1800 on Wednesday 27th February for 24 hours, people in the UK are being asked to turn off any electric appliances that are not being used. Electricity usage is going to be monitored by the National Grid, who are hoping that demand will drop by between 1 and 3% as a result of this. E-Day, as event is being called, is being supported by many charities in the UK, but also big businesses. The event is being billed as your chance to do something about energy consumption - you can read about it here. Encourage your family and friends, and even your teachers, to turn it off on E-Day!
