Where in the beginning I saw it as an excuse not to do dishes, after 50 minutes I started wanting to turn lights on to be able to brush my teeth and then do dishes. I'm not sure what to take from this revelation though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640945602977972878.post-36373019499756837052008-03-29T23:17:00.000-04:002008-03-29T23:17:00.000-04:00We participated too.

More likely, to bring awareness to how much energy is used/wasted. Just replace your bulbs with energy efficient (gradually, I mean, they're expensive!), turn off the lights when you're not using them, and you should be good to go. :DCrystal Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114721895340442954noreply@blogger.com
