BANG
FOR THE BITE |

If
10,000 Biter households turn off 10 lights tomorrow
night for just one hour, we'll avert the CO2 created by
an average apartment in a whole
year.

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.
