The Demise of Earth Hour: Even Empty, Symbolic Environmentalism is On the Wane

So last Saturday, Earth Hour took place- that mystical event when cities around the world pledge to turn off the power, and go dark for an hour.

I don't know about earth hour. But I celebrate Earth day every year the same way. I ride my bike out to the country and sit beneath a tall old oak reading a book made from recycled paper. While burning a giant pile of old truck tires. :)
