Subject: Solstice Protest
> In protest of 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 - 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 7pm - 10 pm (your local time) on June 21. Unplug
whatever you
> can unplug in your house. Light a candle for the Sun, kiss, make love,
play games, tell
> ghost stories, do something instead of watching television, have fun in
the dark.
>
> Forward this email as widely as possible, to your government
representatives and
> environmental contacts. Let them know we want global education,
participation and funding
> in conservation, efficiency and alternative energy efforts -- and an end
to over
> exploitation and misuse of the Earth's resources.
