today is turn your lights off for a hour,but i can't today

i heard about this being one of those earth days where you are suppose to turn your power off for a hour,but today ain't that today for me. the weather is all messed up and with the snow i got today and i need some heat in my crib so i can't go without that extra comfort. still I understand going a hour without using electricity. i live on the West Coast and around 8-9 PM standard time is when people who are gonna participate in it are suppose to drop the switches for a minute. now where I live we have had some bad power outages and I just don't wanna chance that. i'm gonna peep out my window to see who all is gonna go through with it,but i gotta watch with my lights on. i'll catch them back next time.
