LET'S HELI IN A CROCODILE ROTISSERIE FROM DUBAI!

Earth hour becomes the Power Hour tonight at 8:30   31 MARCH

Tonight celebrate the Power Hour and your incredible good luck

In the hundred thousand years since homo sapiens came to be, people have fled bondage, wars, small-pox, dysentery, died from minor scratches, starved to death, been ravaged by lions, stricken by cholera, and survived ninety thousand year stretches of abysmal ice age.  We lived in the darkness for 99,900 years.

It’s your chance to show your commitment to fighting the forces of darkness.

Some of those fossil fuels have been waiting for 100 million years to return to the sky. This is a lot of fun to do with kids.

Things you can do at 8.30 on Saturday:

1. Turn on all the lights you can find (bonus points for incandescents from the stash.)
2. Put on the party lights, the patio light, the pool light, the mozzie zappers, unpack those Christmas decorations. Get out your torches. Switch the movement detector spotlights to continuous operation. (Involve the kids — they love to help).
3. Light your backyard with the landcruiser headlights! (Don’t flatten the battery, make sure you keep that engine running.)
4. Don’t forget those bar radiators — revel in that infra red! (Light the kitchen with the ones in the oven and grill.)
5. Eat Argentinian Lamb steak, Danish butter, Argentinian Cheese, Belgian Chocolate, and Californian Oranges.
6. Drink German Beer and or French Champagne. Drink toasts to coal miners, oil rig workers, and power station staff.

The  Competitive Enterprise Institute runs Human Achievement Hour.
Please celebrate by sharing your favorite human achievement or innovation that makes your life easier! ...  by chatting with friends or family on your phone or computer, watching the news on TV, listening and playing music, or even taking a shower thanks to the wonders of indoor plumbing.
