I saw it on Google, but haven't heard of it otherwise.

Apparently Chicago is like the number one city supporting earth hour according to this article http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/868062,skyline032908.article

Would have been a good time to test out those backup generators :)


EDIT: haha, just noticed that you have "a reputation beyond repute"

It looks like this event reduced carbon emissions by 840,000 pounds in Northern Illinois alone: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/03-29-2008/0004782350&EDATE=

I know I personally did my part, as all the lights and electricity was off at my place, well, except for my laptop, which doesn't use much power. :-)

And yes, of course I have a reputation beyond repute. :-)
