An Excellent Excuse
...to go to bed early and/or ignore the mess that the week has made in your house. If you can't see it, it doesn't exist!!

Is 7 minutes in the dark long enough?
The Bite
Only if you're an awkward, slobbery teenager. Otherwise, turn the lights off for a full hour tomorrow starting at 8 p.m. your time, and you'll join millions of people around the planet coming together for a cause even greater than a teen's first kiss: global warming.The Benefits
- Immediate impact. Last year's Earth Hour, which happened only in Sydney, Australia, had the effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for an hour. This year's event is global, so savings will be even bigger.
- Long-term impact. Earth Hour organizers are also raising awareness by promoting energy-efficient lighting.
- Fun in the dark, without being stuck in a closet. (But hey, if you wanna spend 60 minutes shacked up with your linens, it's your call.) Get together with friends, and make a night of it.
Personally Speaking
We're armed and ready for tomorrow night with beeswax candles and make-out partners.Wanna Try?
- Turn 'em off at 8 p.m. your local time, Mar. 29 (that's tomorrow).
Ideal Bite also provides a link to Earth Hour- a site where you can pledge to this and I think they'll send you a car or something. OK. That's not true. I guess it's just that you'll feel guilty NOT doing this if you pledge to do it and they'll have data.
