ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT
The First Day of Summer
JUNE 21, 2001 Thursday Eve,
7 - 10 p.m. worldwide, all time zones
In protest of 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 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. in
any time zone (this will roll it across the planet).
It's a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your lights from 7p.m.
until 10 p.m. (your local time) on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug
in your house. Light a candle for the Sun, kiss, make love, play games, tell
ghost stories, do something instead of watching television, have
fun in the dark.
Forward this email as widely as possible, to your government representatives
and environmental contacts. Let them know we want global education,
participation and funding in conservation, efficiency and alternative energy
efforts -- and an end to over exploitation and misuse
of the Earth's resources.
