Who's switching off tonight?

I might practise for an hour in the dark. 

Anyone up for recording an hour long improv?

Not me.  Stuff to do and that's not really solving the problem.  Awareness fine.  Not if it's inconvenient though. 

I do do stuff, but I doubt I'm going to solve anything.  When they figure out how to get more energy reasonably without polluting everything up, then there won't be anything to worry about.  I'd rather have them raise awareness on that -- getting more power, without pollution -- than just saving power.

The PS has always been in the dark mode.  Going green apparently. 

I went on Google today and thought it was PS for a sec.

I switched off. We were watching a movie though so it didn't really end up making a difference.

I turned all of my lights on, just to cancel out some hippies.
