Your Own Blackout The First Day of Summer June 21, 2001 Thurs Eve

7 to 10 PM Worldwide, All Time Zones

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 7 PM to 10 PM 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 7 PM to 10 PM on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house. Light a candle, kiss and tell or not, take a stroll in the dark, invent ghost stories, anything that's not electronic - have fun in the dark.
