I’m sure some of you remember that famous song by Journey talking about San Francisco. Well the lights went out last night in San Francisco and LA, all in the name of conservation.

Inspired by a similar event staged in Sydney earlier this year, Nate Tyler the event’s organizer, asked residents of San Francisco and Los Angeles to turn off their lights between 8pm and 9pm, and to install one low-watt fluorescent bulb in their homes. Organizers handed out the bulbs donated by PG&E prior to the event.

He also convinced the city’s Business and Political leaders including Mayor Gavin Newsom and the chamber of commerce to go along with the Lights Out Campaign. With that commitment the light went out at the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, The Ferry Building and other city landmarks. Participating restaurants held service by candlelight.

Next on the agenda for the organizers is to go National. The event they are planning is called “Lights Out America” and is scheduled for March 29, 2008. Eleven cities have so far signed up including New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Seattle and Los Angeles.

Let’s all get our cities involved.
