A site I have been helping develop over the last couple of months has just launched. It’s a Nokia sponsored site to raise awareness for “Earth Hour“.  Earth Hour is a special hour set aside each year for people to save energy and try and give the planet a breather.  If everyone in the world did it then the planet would get an hour “off” in each timezone adding up to a day!

Mobile phone chargers are one of the many household things that when plugged in they burn electricity even when they are not being used.  Electronic goods with “standby” options are also a big waste of energy.  So Nokia, who are releasing their new low power phone chargers, wanted to raise Earth Hour’s profile by creating a website.

So I present to you “Planet Unplug“!  A simple, fun little site where you can join others in pledging to do something energy efficient during Earth Hour by adding a little plug socket character to our wall!

Please spread the word anyway you can by emailing, blogging or “tweeting” about it.  We have created a few little widgets that can be added to blogs (http://www.planetunplug.com/main/blogtools) to help get the word out too!  Here’s what the first two looks like:

We will be adding a few more features over the next week or two so come back and check them out!

Now go ahead and have an explore!  And don’t forget to add your pledge!
