Help Save the Earth!
Next Saturday, March 28th, you may want to celebrate "Earth Hour".
If you try to do it, you're going to have to unplug a lot of appliances: the energy vampires.
During Earth Hour, citizens of the world are asked to turn off their power for one hour, starting at 8:30 p.m. local time, in a symbolic stance against global warming. The World Wildlife Fund started the event two years ago in Sydney, with 2.2 million people and thousands of businesses going dark. The next year, more than 400 cities on all seven continents participated. Some high-wattage landmarks even got involved, including the Sydney Opera House and, in New York, the Coke billboard in Times Square and the Empire State Building.Yeah, sure, big deal. Who's going to do that? (you may be saying).
For 2009, so far nearly 1,200 cities — including Chicago, Guatemala City, Vancouver, B.C., Mumbai and Bangkok — in 80 countries have signed on.And all you have to do is turn off all the power from 8:30 to 9:30. But here's the rub -- at night!

16 more hours till the lights go out. I think that this may have more people doing it, if it wasnt at night and people were dependent upon the light to see what the hell their doing. Wish i could do this but putting strangers food in plastic bags for 6 hours is much more appealing.
