March 24 is Shutdown Day

Can you survive without your computer for one day? Can you survive without bathing in its flourescent glow? Head on over to the Shutdown Day website to answer.

Shutdown day is supposed to be a social experiment to find out what will happen when you go 24 hours without a computer. All I can say is that there will be some good to come out of this: imagine all the energy we'll save and the good it'll do to the environment.

There is also this site called 1day. It's a bit more extreme than Shutdown Day -- they want you to make the smallest carbon footprint possible. That means, on March 21 you should turn off your TV, cellphone, computer, etc. Me thinks this will be harder to do. ;)
