ONE WHOLE HOUR!











I really like the idea of the consumptive world stopping their use of nonrenewable resources for an hour. Wow a whole hour and some 30 million of the worlds worst energy users are instantly redeemed and can immediately return to their normal patterns of usage. How about we turn off the lights for a 24 hour period. Everyone, everywhere, no lights for a day.

Well the funny thing is the majority of the worlds population does already. They do not have electricity . They do not have cars and trucks and boats and planes. We do have all these things and more but now, after our collective hour long cleansing, we are free!

I think the idea of raising awareness is great and don’t get me wrong, we all need to help, but I think we need to act out in millions of small ways. Walk more, drive less, eat fresh, read, turn off the TV, swim, practice yoga, stretch, smile, laugh and keep trying to find ways of lessening our impact on the planet.
