I read today this article from Google Operating System’s RSS. Ok, Google is supporting Earth Hour initiative. Nice. Then I was curious to see the Google in Black…so I gave it a try with the Google UK Homepage.
It was rather suprising to move from this …

To the black version….

Google gives some extra info about their initiative for Earth Hour.
Everybody that went to Google.co.uk during that time must have thought “What the Heck is this ?” Eventually clicked on the Earth Hour link and got some rational on why it was black.
Do you think that Terminal 5 at Heathrow participated to the Earth Hour thing ? They could have.
Those plenty of cancelled flights would have generated many tons of CO2.
