Google Suffers Self-Inflicted Blackout, In Support of Earth Hour
Source: FlickrDon’t worry yourselves, your favorite search engine is feeling fine. It’s just that it has decorated it’s homepage black in support of Earth Hour this evening. We reported on earth hour a couple of weeks ago (here) and it seems it has pulled in some big supporters.
Some ignorant websites have been creating a fuss about how they don’t want to stop the use of their electrical equipment, because it would mean creating a mild impact upon their lives. But the vast majority have been in support of event with Google turning it’s entire site black for the day. This alone does not do much in itself to contribute to the Earth Hour movement, as to participate Google should have shut down there entire site for an hour. Can anyone really see that happening though? But they are doing pretty much the next best thing; Raising Awareness!
By them making their site black it will inform people of what is going on. Then the quadrillion-bazillion people that use Google will have the knowledge and potential to turn off their lights for an hour, saving the planet a little.
Thank you Google.
