Lights Out: March 29th at 8pm!

I receive daily emails from IdealBite.com. Below is today's email - read and participate in tomorrow's Earth Hour.


Is 7 minutes in the dark long enough?

The Bite
Only if you're an awkward, slobbery teenager. Otherwise, turn the lights off for a full hour tomorrow starting at 8 p.m. your time, and you'll join millions of people around the planet coming together for a cause even greater than a teen's first kiss: global warming.

The Benefits

Immediate impact. Last year's Earth Hour, which happened only in Sydney, Australia, had the effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for an hour. This year's event is global, so savings will be even bigger.
Long-term impact. Earth Hour organizers are also raising awareness by promoting energy-efficient lighting.
Fun in the dark, without being stuck in a closet. (But hey, if you wanna spend 60 minutes shacked up with your linens, it's your call.) Get together with friends, and make a night of it.
Personally Speaking
We're armed and ready for tomorrow night with beeswax candles and make-out partners.

Wanna Try?

Turn 'em off at 8 p.m. your local time, Mar. 29 (that's tomorrow).
Earth Hour - pledge to turn off your lights here, and receive Earth Hour updates and tips.
