@IdealBite - 60 Minutes in Heaven

Is 7 minutes in the dark long enough?

The Bite
Only if you're an awkward, slobbery teenager. Instead, get lucky for a full hour tomorrow starting at 8:30 pm. Join millions of people around the planet supporting a cause even greater than a teen's first kiss: stopping global warming.

The Benefits

• Heavenly energy savings. In 2008, just one city's (Chicago) hour-long participation helped reduce the amount of CO2 that 104 acres of trees suck up over the same period of time.

• Making it last. Earth Hour organizers are also raising awareness by promoting energy-efficient lighting.

• Fun in the dark, without being stuck in a closet. Get together with friends, and make a night of it.

Want a bigger bite?

Jen From Renewable Choice Says:  To help move our societies toward a more sustainable future, make sure you join in on Earth Hour Saturday night. If you happen to be going out Saturday night, please turn your lights out at home before you leave. You might also try asking the manager of the restaurant or wherever you are to turn out or at least dim some of the lights, explain the major $$ they'll save (not to mention helping the planet) by cutting down on their electricity use and they are sure to comply. Happy Friday!  ~Jen
