reveling in the darkness
i haven't seen much press about the upcoming earth hour event this saturday, march 28th, so to help spread the word, here's what it's all about:
SWITCH OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR EARTH HOUR
Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.
For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

on the local level, here's something you might notice if you're flying in or out of LAX saturday night:
Pylons at LAX to go dark for Earth Hour
If any of you have ever been to the Los Angeles International Airport in the evening, you will have surely seen the multitude of three story neon pylons illuminating the terminal entrance. Airport officials have committed to powering down the pylons from 8:30 to 9:30pm on March 28th and multiple airlines have signed on the dim the lights wherever it's safe to do so.
other local landmarks will also be turning off their lights, including the santa monica pier, the capitol records building, the el cap and el rey theaters, and the griffith observatory. even pinks hot dogs will be going lights-free (which could be a bit disconcerting for those standing in line!)
you can also join other earth hour revelers at the big event at the new LA live complex in downtown --
