GREETINGS!

LIGHTS OUT SANTA BARBARA  on October 20th from 8 to 9 pm is a great - and very simple - step. It makes a statement that we can do something that will effectively save energy.

Everyone is invited turn off their lights and non-essential electrical uses for just one hour. It will send a strong, measurable statement about our need and our ability to conserve energy.

We can change the world—one switch at a time.

"Lights Out" was first implemented last March 31, a Saturday evening, in Sydney, Australia where an estimated 2.2 million, more than half the population, switched off their lights, cutting more than 10% the city’s electricity usage. 

This county-wide, totally voluntary event is grassroots. You are on your own, you do it yourself, and it’s easy. There is nothing to join, no dues, and no meetings. Simply turn off your lights and non-essential appliances, and please ask your friends to do the same. 

"LIGHTS OUT SANTA BARBARA"  will be on October 20, 8-9pm and will run concurrently with San Francisco (lightsoutsf.org) and Los Angeles (lightsoutla.org).

This is another step in needed sustainability efforts, and who knows, you might find a new friend or new interest that will enrich your life on October 20 and beyond.

Take charge.  
Send a message loud and clear.
Be part of the solution.

Don’t forget to tell your friends to turn off their lights on October 20, 8-9pm.
