--------------------- Lights Out Santa Barbara, Oct. 20 ---------------------

Lights Out Santa Barbara ( http://lightsoutsb.org/) is an upcoming
symbolic and actual event. We are asked to turn off all non-essential
lights for one hour, from 8 to 9 pm on Saturday, Oct. 20th to make us
realize how much electricity we really need to function.

"Lights Out" was first implemented last March 31, a Saturday evening,
in Sydney, Australia where an estimated 2.2 million, more than half
the population, switched off their lights, cutting more than 10% the
city's electricity usage.

This county-wide, totally voluntary event is grassroots. You are on
your own, you do it yourself, and it's easy. There is nothing to join,
no dues, and no meetings. Simply turn off your lights and
non-essential appliances, and please ask your friends to do the same.

"LIGHTS OUT SANTA BARBARA" will be on October 20, 8-9pm and will run
concurrently with San Francisco (lightsoutsf.org) and Los Angeles
(lightsoutla.org)
