On October 20th, 2007, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, City Hall, and the TransAmerica Pyramid are all going dark to promote climate change awareness. They are asking all San Francisco residents, businesses, churches and government entities to turn off all non-essential lights for one hour from 8 - 9 pm on October 20, 2007 and install one energy-efficient light bulb in an effort to raise awareness about conservation and reduce carbon emissions. LightsOut is actively distributing over 100,000 low energy light bulbs for free over the next month whose energy savings would equate to the eliminating the release of 18,600 tons of green house gases or the equivalent of taking 2,600 cars permanently off the road.

  • Sweeet now we can actually see the stars...

    Now if only the city would think twice about building more high rises like the RINCON which no average human could afford to live in. Hmmm

  • So I guess the Embarcadero Center buildings aren't joining in? As much as I love their holiday lights, I can only imagine the power it takes to keep them going.
