Vancouver Tech

Or rather, what is Vancouver turning off for Earth Hour?

This Saturday, March 28th, from 8:30pm until 9:30pm, whatever you do can be meaningful, even if it is just flipping off the light switch.

What else can you do to support this event?

• Tell your friends
• Connect with Earth Hour — Join one of the Earth Hour social media profiles: Facebook Group, Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, Flickr, Bebo
• Register at http://www.earthhour.org/
• Express your thoughts on the importance of action on climate change, and share it through your blog, social media sites
• Embed Earth Hour videos to your site

What will you be doing — watching the darkness from up high, huddling around candlelight, or gathering in the streets? Or perhaps streaking naked through the dark streets, drinking pre-chilled beer, etc.

Unfortunately, Juno street concert celebrations will be going on downtown at that time. Do they plan to recognize Earth Hour? What else is happening in Vancouver? Some ideas:

• Grab some darkened dinner at a participating Vancouver restaurant, with Dimming for Dinner
• Check out Granville Online’s list of 21 ways to spend Earth Hour. My favourite: “15. Have a really good conversation with someone who’s usually attached to their iPhone or Blackberry.”
