Do you sometimes think you are wasting electricity? Well this Saturday you could do something about it. At 8.30pm on 26th March it’s Earth Hour. This is a global event and gives everyone the opportunity to switch off any electrical appliances for an hour and think about the threatening effects of climate change. You can switch off anything from your laptop to the lights in your front room.
This event kicked off in Sydney in 2007 and 2.2 million people switched off there lights for the event. So do your part for the environment this weekend and switch off. Find out more about Earth Hour here.

So get your pens and pencils at the ready, and visit the V&A website for full details of what’s going on

Any footballer who performs the dance during a match will receive £10,000 from Betfair for a charity of their choice. Thus creating the first ever in-game advert. Rumours have circulated stating that clubs will fine any players that take part, for conflicting other advertisers’ messages. Now everyone is waiting to see who will be brave, or stupid, enough to go through with it.
Great idea or greed gone too far? Do you think PR, advertising and the money in football have changed the sport too much? Or it’s all just a bit of fun? Take a look at the Taikai video and tell us what you think.
