ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT
THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
JUNE 21, 2001 THURS EVE,
7-10pm worldwide, all time zones

As an alternative to 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
7pm - 10pm in any time zone (this will roll it across the planet).

Its a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your
lights from 7pm-10pm on June 21. Unplug whatever you
can unplug in your house. Light a candle to the Sungoddess,
kiss and tell or not, take a stroll in the dark, invent ghost stories,
anything that's not electronic - have fun in the dark.

Read the 1999 book"Natural Capitalism" by Hawken and Lovins to learn that
conservation/high efficiency technologies already ARE on-the-shelf. If
implemented these revolutionary ideas would pay themselves off within five
years, after which we'd be pumping far less greenhouse gas into the
atmosphere and saving bucks to boot.

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 fuel efforts -- and an end to over-
exploitation and misuse of the earth's resources.
