I just found out that today, March 29 the world is observing Earth Hour. What you say?? ???
According to Google:
On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Earth Hour invites people around the world to turn off their lights for one hour – from 8:00pm to 9:00pm in their local time zone. On this day, cities around the world, including Copenhagen, Chicago, Melbourne, Dubai, and Tel Aviv, will hold events to acknowledge their commitment to energy conservation.
I don't get along well with feel good group events. ::) I suppose it's the rebel in me, but I do have my own plans.
I'm going to turn on every light we have. Plus turn on all the outdoor motion sensor operated security lights using the over ride. We've been using CFL and doing all sorts of other energy saving things for years. To the point where our electric and gas monthly average has dropped from $122 five years ago to $80 over the past year. Water use is down by nearly 50% as well.
[noidea' Oh darn. It came & went & I never knew
I only heard about it because I Googled something and they were making a big deal of it.

Well --- Since I am not even hooked to the grid -- I invite the rest of them to unhook with me-- permanently and see how good they feel about that.
