Ten Hours to Green

Okay, if you're in New Haven like me, it's more like 9:21:16 hours to green. But it was a spin off of ten seconds to green, so I went with it.
Either way -- we're getting just under 9.5 hours of sunlight these days. In otherwords, 9.5 hours in which you don't REALLY need to have any artificial lights on.
Think about it. If you used only natural light for ONE day, wouldn't you feel like a ridiculously good person? And if you're going to do that, why not do it on one of the shortest days of the year? So genius.


Just for context: My room is lit by four 100-watt bulbs. If I turn that off for 9 hours, I'm saving 3.6 kilowatt-hours of energy. If I shut off all the lights on the second floor of my house, I'm saving about 25 kilowatt-hours of energy. If I shut off...you get the idea. It adds up, people. Now QUICK DO IT BEFORE THE SOLSTICE NOW NOW NOW
