Dam Power Hour

Why Just ONE Power Hour?

If a beaver chews down a tree in the forest, and no-one is there, does he make a noise?

If you turn off your lights for an hour on Saturday at 8 pm, does anyone really care?

Here's my 3 leverage challenges for your family...

1. Start on Saturday with the 1 hour power hour. Then do it again every week.

2. Start at 8 am on Saturday and continue until 9 pm. No lights - no plug ins - no tv's, dishwashers, cellphones, blackberries. Walk, don't drive. Pay attention to how much energy we use in a single day.

3. Repeat #2 monthly, or weekly!


Bonus Tip!

And finally, recycle "yourself". Save your own energy.

Declare this a "hush" day, not a "rush" day. Take a clue from the beaver, and chew away at a book that's been waiting for you. Spend time outside with a kid. Get organized for spring.

Lights out...not just for the environmental marketers!
