Could you live without electricity?

This October thousands of Australians are going to try and live without electricity for 24 hours.

No lights
No telephones
No stoves

The Big Switch Off aims to encourage people to commit to switch off their power and go energy free for 24 hours, from 8pm October 6^th until 8pm October 7^th. They hope that people will realise how much we rely upon energy in our everyday lives, and start to think more about global warming in relation to our own actions. When we switch back on, we hope to be switching on to a greener and more energy efficient future.

Could you live without power for a day?
