Lights Out San Francisco

Hello and welcome.

Lights Out San Francisco started in 2007 as citywide energy conservation and awareness campaign that culminated in a public event held on the night of October 20th. Citizens and the city of San Francisco were encouraged to turn out all non-essential lighting for one hour. As the movement grew in San Francisco other state and nation-wide cities formed sister organizations and on the 20th, several cities joined with San Francisco to turn out the lights.

Lights Out is now embarking on phase two - a new energy awareness campaign focused on downtown San Francisco commercial buildings. Phase two encourages downtown buildings to turn out their non-essential lights and appliances every night making San Francisco the first dark skyline in the country.

    I can’t even see the stars when I’m at my family cabin in the Sierra because two neighbors have put in large outdoor spots. I am all for dark at night! How else can we appreciate how small and fragile our Earth is?

    I’m going to burn every light in my house and rent spotlights. This global stuff is so ridiculous. What is wrong with you people? It took billions of years to get where we’re are and now you want to go back? The sun blows gazillions of tons of energy into our earth’s atmosphere and you think we’re going to make a change in what we do here on earth? Earth is fragile?!?! It’s survives volcanoes, earthquakes, comets, sun rays, x-rays, gamma rays, meteorites, etc. and the earth is fragile?

    Wow… let me know where to buy the kool aid.

    It’s hilarious! If I were as crazy as some of you and went by your philosophies… I wouldn’t be blogging. Do you know how much energy the server is blowing to power this blog? Every one of you blogging here are in direct violation of a “Greener World”. So keep blogging, you hypocrites! Shut off your Internet and your computers and turn off your lights. I’ll pay for your energy and continue enjoying my life.

    My wife and I never have sex and I think she could benefit from talking Viagra. The trouble is she wouldn’t be able to take away sex from me when I do something bad. I know every guy out there in the world reading this knows what I am talking about. I recently switched over to asian women only because of this simple yet gosh awful truth that women keep doing and men keep putting up with it. Not with asian women though!! Love going out with asian women because they say yes to anything you want. I have been dating this one asian chick and she has only been in the U.S. for a year. Barely speaks english its so nice not having to listen to a trick yap about how I don’t give her enough attention or nag about everything under the sun.

    My question for the readers is: Why do women need a viagra like drug if they aren’t puttin out? They won’t take it anyways.
    Women need viagra because they lose their sex drive after having a few kids. I have dated a ton of single moms with two or more kids and they barely ever want to put out after we have been together for awhile. Im dating a mom with two boys right now and she basically just lays there while im doing my thing once or twice a week max!! Sometimes she even complains that we have sex too much and that I am addicted lol! Ha that is obsurd! Regular sex for couples is healthy haven’t you all watched Dr. Sex lady that is about 90 years old and has an answer for every caller on the show! LMFAO! http://www.ripoffreport.com/trade-schools/environmental-techni/environmental-technical-instit-mpdbb.htm
