Beantown to Greentown, Part II

More good news from the giant office buildings in Boston. They're going to shut off the lights from 11pm to 5 am. You know, when there's nobody in there?

Can you imagine the impact this will have? It'll be like adding several thousand mothers and fathers to the world, walking around the house yelling to everyone, but nobody in particular: "shut off the lights when you're not in the room! we don't own the power company, you know!"

If you work in one of these buildings--or even if you don't--you can help by shutting off your computer when you leave the office at night. Also, if the bathrooms in your office don't have timer lights, hit the switch if you leave the bathroom empty. Little things that become habits make a difference.
