[Sust-mar] From Earthhour to Olympic Boycott

[IBS]

As reported in The Guardian Saturday March 22, 2008: 'City asks its residents to go dark for an hour'
					  				
											Between 8-9 p.m. everyone is encouraged to get involved and shut off all lights and unplug all appliances.

Some of the city's methods will be turning out all non-essential lighting....

I am not sure how much influence, if any, we might have had to do with this but seeing how putting the suggestion out there seemed to precede Charlottetown's official participation in Earthhour, I would now like to suggest that we encourage the federal government to boycott the Olympics if China does not free all Tibetan monks and back their military away.
