Wow! I had to blink rapidly and rub my eyes when I read that Phoenix is one of the flagship cities in th US to participate in this years Earth Hour. The concept is totally cool and well-worth it. But as someone living in Phoenix, it just seems too good to be true. I am very happy to hear the city wants to be more Earth friendly and to make changes to minimize global warming. We are int he desert here so we should be able to do way more to promote Earth friendly things such as say, solar energy. That way when it’s 118 degrees out, we can say “yeah it’s hot, but look at all the solar power we’re creating.” As for this event, I think it is a great statement to have downtown blackout for an hour. It makes a statement and I hope it is one that the citizens ill listen to. We use electricity like it is going out of style, without thought to the impact it has on the environment. Good start Phoenix. Let’s keep up the momentum.
