This Saturday is the third annual ritual of turning off our lights for one hour. It started in Australia by the World Wildlife Fund in 2007. At 8:30 pm Central, turn off your lights for one hour. The idea this year is to raise awareness about climate change. Read more here.
That's great. Let's all turn off our lights for hour. We can become a dark planet. For One Hour.
But then what? We turn on the lights and go on about our business? I've got some ideas ....
Why not do one of these things:
1. buy a CFL lightbulb and install it
2. keep your thermometer at 68 in the winter instead of 70.
3. start a compost pile.
4. walk more and drive less.
5. turn off the light when you leave a room.
6. wash your clothes in cold water.
7. plant a garden.
8. share the garden with your neighbors.
9. shop local.
10. read a book instead of watching tv.
That's just a couple of ideas -- can you think of some more?
