If you haven't read the media blitz about it, or seen the movies, or been forced to watch Al Gore's "documentary", I'm curious. What rock have you been hiding under? Well, in case you've been cut off from all human contact since the 1980s (if you have, how are you reading this anyway?), Samantha Burns reminds us that…
Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver have joined two dozen cities around the world that plan to turn their lights off for one hour later this year in a worldwide campaign to raise awareness about global warming.
As she says, "we must combat this globalized gullability, but how?"
One answer might be to sign up for the Anti-Earth Hour. She's started an online petition. I encourage you all to go read it and sign it.

 | Nutty things like this remind me of a man I worked with at Delta Air Lines in Atlanta in the eary 1990s, when Earth Day started gaining yearly national attention.
I came into work one day and sat in the break room with William, and I asked him, sarcastically, what he had done to celebrate Earth Day. I was just expecting a good cussin' for even bringing up the subject of Earth Day.
Instead, William graces me with a you-know-what-eating-grin, and said, "I burned my trash today." (William was a true Georgia redneck who lived way out in the country south of Atlanta) "I heard a couple of weeks ago on the news about Earth Day coming up, and I've saved our trash for two weeks. It took me the whole morning to burn it all, but THAT'S how I celebrated Earth Day."
I haven't seen or talked to William since I left Delta to return to college, but I think about him on every Earth Day, and would bet big money that he still celebrates the same way. |
