UPDATE: Thanks to Ben and Suzy and friends

for a magical melodious evening !
We should turn the lights out more often.

On Saturday March 29, 8-9pm, linuxcaffe will join thousands of other businesses and people in Toronto (and millions worldwide) in flicking the switch, turning appliances off stand-by and enjoying an hour of quiet darkness. Earth Hour shows that, together, our small actions can make a difference to global warming.

The aim of the campaign is to express that individual action on a mass scale can help change our planet for the better. The event itself will clearly demonstrate in participating cities, the connection between energy usage and climate change, showing that we as broader community can address the biggest threat our planet has ever faced.

The ambiance at linuxcaffe will be stepped up several notches for the occasion, as all candles in stock will light up!

UPDATE: Joining us for this special occasion will be the acoustic stylings of Suzy Wilde & Ben Whiteley! Toronto-born Suzy Wilde (Nancy White's daughter) studies music at Humber College and writes and performs with her band, Stonefox . She has recently teamed up with long time friend, Ben Whiteley (Ken Whiteley's son) to write and record some original songs. Having both been raised in musical families, Whiteley and Wilde grew up surrounded by Toronto's folk scene and have since been drawn to pop, jazz, country and indie music. The result is a mixture of many different influences and a sound that is unique to them.
