Turn off the lights, and take it slow.
We created "Candlescape" to monitor the invisible shared feelings among people and the sense of connectedness on a real-time global basis.
If you agree with Our Proposal, please write your message on Candlescape, and light candles for a week starting on the summer solstice, June 21.
In 2008, the G8 Hokkaido Toyako Summit will be held in Japan right after the summer solstice in June. We believe the year 2008 will have a significant impact on the Earth's future. Please tell us your thoughts about the Earth, in accordance with this occasion. We are extending the Candle Night week to June 7. Please turn off your lights, take it slow, and send your message.
