gentlepaws: At 8:PM on March 29th, many citizens and city corporations all over the world will turn off all lights, computers as well for one hour.
It started in Australia On 31 March 2007. 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year.

Great idea! Think I can even use it as a promo in the bar... a little accoustic music some nice candlelight all in the name of a good cause!

Gentlepaws, you can get arrested for this in the U.S. It's against a federal law. U.S. citizens are expected to waste as much energy as possible. It's part of the whole U.S. entitlement philosophy.
Sorry, man. I wish I could participate. I just don't think I could handle 10 years in the penitentiary.

Metaphorically speaking or in this case, typing, corporations have had their lights out for years; it's one reason we're in the mess we are in now.
Nevertheless, a good idea and worth the effort to endure, to bask in the silence from all the electronic white noise in our backgrounds even if for only one hour.
