1. Change Your Light Bulb
Use compact flourrescent light bulbs (CFLs), instead of incandescent lights. CFLs use up 75% less electricity and last up to 13 times longer.
2. Open A Window
When the sun is out, draw those blinds or curtains to let the natural light in. During cool nights and mornings, turn off that air conditioner.

I was writing an article about the Earth Hour 2008 but I decided to put it on hold when I received an email from friend which I copied verbatim below.
