Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour 2009 is this weekend. Can you be in the dark for one hour? Could you go a step further than just turning out the lights? Could you turn off your electronics for an hour? Could you survive on batteries for an hour?

We are getting to a point of being so interconnected and always connected that being dark for an hour will cause some people serious pain. But, I am looking forward to it.

Our family will be near York, SC at Bethelwoods Conference Center for a retreat this weekend. On Saturday night, at 8:30 PM we should be out in the woods around a campfire - probably not good for global warming - but better than the 8 families use of electricity for that hour.

Enjoy the darkness - and the buzz of electricity - if only for the hour
