Okay, so here’s the thing. Turn your lights off between 8 and 9 pm tonight. It’s a way to raise awareness about how we can take action on climate change. It’s a way to save something. Whether that be the planet (which is really what it’s all about), the life of your lightbulbs, a few bucks on your hydro bill, whatever. Save something!
We’ve decided to go black. Turn off everything. And I mean everything. Well, except for the fridge and furnace. I mean, really, we’re in a storm watch with high winds and the chance of lots of snow, gotta keep some things running. Oh, and the hot water tank (don’t know why, just not gonna turn it off).
We’re going to unplug the clock radios. The High Definition Receiver and Surround Sound. Anything that throws light. And yes, I’m even going to shut off the computer. Something that just doesn’t happen around this house. This computer stays on all the time. Someone once told me it’s the best thing for the computer. All that turning off and turning on is harder on it than just letting it stay on.
But, wait…off topic.
Global warming is real. Climate change is real. And we have to do something. So why not? We recycle. We reuse. We’ve gone energy efficient on many levels. We have geo thermal heating (no emissions here). Oh sure, most of us turn off all the lights when we go to bed, but let’s do it when we need it. When we’re going to miss it. Let’s take a look at what life would be like if we continue to destroy Mother Earth.
Okay, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But hey, maybe I’m not?
So, between 8 and 9 TONIGHT!!! Turn off the lights.
