March 29, 2008--Earth Hour

Although it doesn't seem like many people in the NYC metro area have jumped on board for Earth Hour 2008 like other cities (San Fran & Chicago) and countries (Australia), it will be interesting to see how many people participate.  I know Tony is planning on dimming our lights for the hour.  I know it has its critics (people say that it won't help much and is gimmicky) but it definitely brinjgs further awareness to the problems and might show people that it is possible to do things without lights blaring constantly. 

I know quite a few bars around the country are staying dark tonite (for more than just the hour) and serving drink specials with glow sticks and such to celebrate.  All they are asking for is an hour, and it's a good way to not only participate but maybe even save a buck on your power bill, if that's more motivation.  I think people should take it a step further and maybe turn off the TV's and other things as well.
