ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT
When:
THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER JUNE 21, 2001; 7-10pm
worldwide, all time zones
Why:
As an alternative to George W. Bush's energy policies
and lack of emphasis on efficiency, conservation and
alternative fuels, there will be a voluntary rolling blackout on
the first day of summer, June 21 at 7pm-10pm in any time zone (this
will roll it across the planet). It's a simple protest and a symbolic act.
How:
Turn out your lights from 7pm-10pm on June 21.
Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house. Light a candle to the
Sungoddess, kiss and tell or not, take a stroll in
the dark, invent ghost stories,
anything that's not electronic - have fun in the dark.
Who:
Forward this email as widely as possible, to your friends,
government representatives and environmental contacts.
Why:
Let them know we want global education, participation
and funding in conservation, efficiency and alternative fuel efforts
-- and an end to over-exploitation and misuse of the
earth's resources.
