Earth Hour

So I guess Sydney had it's Earth hour for this year. Gosh, I wish the US did this. Lately I've been feeling really green ;). For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, Earth hour is when everyone in Sydney turns off their lights for one hour. Apparently, this lessens their carbon footprint. I think it would be really fun to do this every year. I mean our whole power outage back in December wasn't so bad... and that was for like 6 hours? 7? I know for fact that there have been power outages for days (maybe not here but in the mainland) so what's ONE hour? So anyone with great writing skills, let Obama know, AMERICA NEEDS AN EARTH HOUR!
