Remember Earth Day and Earth Hour?

Here are a few good items Earth Day and Earth Hour.

Cafe Hayek: Capitalism Day: "On this Earth Day, I celebrate capitalism -- the institution that, far more than any other, has made human lives clean, safe, dignified, and culturally rich.

Cafe Hayek: "Earth Hour" and the Dark Ages: "The World Wildlife Fund arranged today's 'Earth Hour' -- a pledge by many people from around the world to turn off lights for an hour. The following is from a page on the WWF website ..."

The Real Meaning of Earth Hour by Keith Lockitch -- Capitalism Magazine: "On Saturday, March 28, cities around the world will turn off their lights to observe “Earth Hour.” Iconic landmarks from the Sydney Opera House to Manhattan’s skyscrapers will be darkened to encourage reduced energy use and signal a commitment to fighting climate change. While a one-hour blackout will admittedly have little effect on carbon emissions, what matters, organizers say, is the event’s symbolic meaning. That’s true, but not in the way organizers intend."
