In a meeting of the Baruch College Sustainability Task Force, we just had a big discussion about how to mark the occasion.  As the power-off hour is on a Saturday night, and Baruch doesn’t leave many external lights on to begin with, there won’t be an impressive visual impact by switching off lights.  And the visual impact is what it’s all about — a dimmed Empire State Building is a pretty powerful statement.  But we decided that what it’s really about is getting everyone involved, so we are going to ask students and faculty to power off their computers before they leave for the weekend.

It was sort of amusing, scratching our heads, thinking about lights we could turn off that wouldn’t even be on.
