Are you participating in Earth Hour? It’s tonight at 8:30 pm wherever you live.
It’s pretty simple. Just turn off the lights. And the TV and cable. And the computer. (Battery power? Aren’t you recharging it later? However you ARE allowed to finish reading whatever blog post you may be reading at the time. Just turn off before you click to something else.) And the washer and dryer. And your I-pod. And your phone.
And the furnace. Don’t forget to turn that off. And don’t even think about lighting the fireplace!! (We’re supposed to be decreasing the Carbon Footprint!)
Along the same line of reasoning: no candles!
My suggestion is to just sit in the dark and really, really think about the earth. It will be easier if you sit close to someone. In case you get cold.
Just kind of sit really, really close and start thinking about the earth together. Think about all the ways that people used to employ to entertain themselves in the dark long long ago. Before electricity.
I’m wondering what the electrical impact of one saved hour really amounts to. And I’m also wondering how many babies will be born the day after Christmas.
