We as cyclists already do a lot for the environment, but if you are home now you may want to celebrate Earth Hour. I"m typing in the dark....with a plugged in laptop but oh well....

Tomorrow night, Saturday March 31st, is Earth Hour 2012, from 8:30 PM to 9:30, local time (wherever you happen to be).  For that hour, turn off the TV.  Power down the computer.  Shut off the lights.  And take a walk around your city, or a bicycle ride, to experience how to live without electricity or gasoline, as so many do around the world.

Do I have to unplug my fridge?

Absolutely!  Just drink all the beer before it gets warm.  Easy!

I'm interested in the portable solar panels, enough on a sunny day to run a laptop,tv, charge your smart phone...not at the same time though.

I'm super psyched to go black for one hour.  I need the rest!

Turning off my computer & lights in 6 minutes.  Nice evening for a bicycle ride, I think.

Earth hour just turned into a nice 4 hour nap! Now it's bedtime, cool!
