Where will you be when the lights go out?

Last year, as you'll recall, E2P reported that Earth Hour turned out to be more fun than imagined. Turning off all the lights and electrical applicances in the house sounds like kind of a boring way to entertain oneself, but the secret is what happens next. What are your plans?

Last year, as you'll recall, E2P reported that Earth Hour turned out to be more fun than imagined. Turning off all the lights and electrical applicances in the house sounds like kind of a boring way to entertain oneself, but the secret is what happens next. What are your plans? (Note: If they're "turn on every light in the house," please - that's so 2009.)

And will Earth Hour live up to the hype this year? (And by hype I mean: "LARGEST CALL FOR ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN HISTORY") So far Mount Rushmore, Las Vegas Strip, Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge and other classic American icons of the extravagant expenditure of energy will be going dark for the hour. Might've been nice to see Philly represented on one of these pages - what, was Billy Penn not willing to play ball?

In our email inbox we find that a company called Direct Energy is concerned that only seven percent of Pennsvylanians know about Earth Hour. So in addition to sending out Energy-Saving Tips (these are helpfully color-coded for savings/difficulty) they're doing their part, as are we, to get the word out.

Tell your neighbors! Hey, they don't want to miss the chance ot be part of the Largest Call For Action on Climate Change in History, do they?
