Celebrating Earth Hour

Chris Witwer March 26, 2010 1 Comment

Space Needle during Earth Hour

Saturday Night the Space Needle will go dark along with hundreds (thousands?) of businesses and homes across Seattle.  Why?  It’s Earth Hour!  

Earth Hour is a call to action on climage change, supported by the World Wildlife Fund.  The movement started in Sydney in 2007 and has grown exponentially ever since.  So don’t be wiggin’ out when millions and millions of people around the planet shut off non-essential lights from 8:30-9:30pm Saturday (local time).

In case it’s been a while, here are some things you can do without the lights on.  Add your own in the Comments section!

  • Walk to Gasworks Park and watch the skyline disappear
  • Read by candlelight
  • Act out War of the Worlds by flashlight
  • Tell ghost stories
  • Recycle something
  • Have a backyard cookout under the stars
  • Pretend it is so dark you don’t realize you are pouring contreau into a Dick’s vanilla milkshake.  (YUM!)
  • Get nekkid
  • Get busy
