How long should I BLACKOUT for on BLACKOUT DAY ? You choose ! Start at
the published time, and go as long as you dare !
BLACKOUT LITE : 5 MINUTES
You want to show your support, but you've got supper to make, so it can't take too long. Flick the switches on the lights, the computer, the phone charger, even the fridge. I promise you your soya milk and chilled cabbage will survive.
BLACKOUT VIGIL : 1 HOUR
You want to take the time to sit and meditate with a candle and make the phones stop ringing and the TV stop blaring for a while. Listen to the silence. Enjoy the peace of the warm dark evening.
BLACKOUT PARTY : 3 HOURS
You and your mates and your family want to have snacks by candlelight
and a couple of glasses of organic beer together and talk about the state of the world and
where we're heading with the Powerdown.
BLACKOUT HIPPY : 24 HOURS
You've given yourself the challenge of living without heating and lighting and
electrical power for a whole day and a whole night. You are a complete
planetophile, no mistake, and you wear a deep green halo.
You must prepare if you want to undertake this personal commitment.
This is hardcore activism and you need to plan ahead.
