Batti Bandh: Mumbai Unplugged on Dec 15

On December 15 Mumbai will go off the grid. It will be unplugged.

This event is being organised by Mumbai Unplug. It is derived from a similar event held in Sydney Australia called Earth Hour.

In Mumbai, the event is called Batti Bandh (translation: turn off the lights)

Batti Bandh is an entirely voluntary event taking place on the 15th of December between 7:30 & 8:30 p.m. This event is aimed at requesting all of Mumbai to stand up for a cause that is greater than all of us. All you need to do is switch off lights and appliances in your home, shop, office, school, college or anywhere you are for 1 hour to take a stand against global warming. Just 1 hour.

What will this 1 hour do? This 1 hour for just 1 day is not our only aim. This 1 hour is to set an example to the world, to every person who witnesses it, to show that together we can make a difference. This 1 hour will save a lot of electricity as well as pollution and if done regularly can go a long way in reducing pollution that is released by electricity plants as well. [link]

So on December 15….turn off your lights for one hour….from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm and participate in Batti Bandh
