Earth Hour this year, in Atlanta, GA was March 30 at 8 PM. My parents unplugged everything in the house (except the freezer) and read by candle-light in observence of one hour a year when people come together and switch everything off, in order to be more thankful that we can switch it back on again.In the true fashion of my family, I was informed about “Earth Hour” after the fact. (kind of like how I’m letting you know after the fact) To be fair, I was out of cell-phone coverage at the time, and hence voluntarily incommunicado. Hearing about earth hour, however, reminded me of an energy article I’ve been meaning to write for a while now; a how-to for a simple energy saver that some hotels are currently using in the wild, to save, across the expanse of thousands of rooms, millions of dollars a year in wasted electricity. I’m going to write that how-to. And then I’ll be back.
