  4. What will you do for Earth hour?

    Three years ago I participated in the inaugural Earth Hour event. As a Chicagoan I planned to spend the hour on my rooftop in West Town, watching the lights of the big city dim, seeing how the bustling metropolis adapted to a brief moment of calm. I watched the lights fade one by one – the John Hancock, Prudential Tower, Sears Tower and everywhere in between. But after 10 minutes, I realized my plan could not sustain 50 more minutes. We filled the remainder of the evening with a neighborhood stroll, checking out local business and restaurants to see how they participated (or failed to participate) in the Earth Hour event.
