On Saturday, March 29, at 8 p.m. you can make a statement about climate change, along with millions of people around the world, by turning off your lights for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour, a World Wildlife Fund initiative to “turn off the lights” around the world, will be held in at least 25 cities across six continents, starting at 8 p.m. local time. You can turn off the lights anywhere though, so it's a great excuse to go camping or backpacking this weekend.

For those perpetually-plugged-in souls who have no idea what to do without power, there's a list of ten “fun” things you, your family, and friends can do to make a difference.

Now, I personally think that climate change is an extremely important issue and the suggestions are more than valid (reduce personal energy consumption and carbon emissions, unplug and chill out, etc.). But, c'mon, is talking to your friends about reducing your environmental footprint really the most fun they could come up with? The list doesn’t even include the most obvious ideas for fun in the dark (the most promising ones, like a backyard picnic, are left to the kids).

Next time they should ask some backpackers for suggestions. So, tell us, what will you do when the lights go out?
