Starting at 8:00 on Saturday March 29, 2008, people all over the world will be shutting their lights off for an hour, to draw attention to the connection of energy use and climate change. The event will start in New Zealand and move westward, hitting places like Manila, Dubai, New York and Chicago. The event will end in San Francisco, where the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge will go dark for an hour. Of course there will be people interested in cashing in on this event. Now I wouldn't suggest robbing your local 7-11 or Best Buy(please put the TV back, the lights are off but the police are still in full effect!!) but you might want to take part of some of the interesting activities. A place in Michigan is offering lamplight yoga, a Phoenix bar will offer Eco-tinis and the waiters will wear glow-in-the-dark-necklaces, and the Sheraton in Chicago will be checking in guest by candlelight. So if you can remember turn off your lights at 8:00 and do your part to bring awareness to the earth's energy issues. Check out the article below.
