Found you by way of Zoe's mom and Becky--I will definitely link to this; as I am on the Fairfield (CT) Earth Day committee, and our annual festival is this coming Saturday (May 10th). I have learned so much this first year on the committee, and I am thrilled to see challenges like this set up. I will definitely aim for #s 2 and 5 for now. Thanks again for doing this! Hi Emily.

Otherwise it would be a complicated task of switching off just a few circuits. And after all, a blackout is supposed to be a blackout. I think the freezer will be all right if the blackout is just for one night. But I will have to test what happens with the fridge. And no, until I really telecommute, my life is not superbly green (I still ride 600 km a week on my paleo-diesel-train). Well, if I am to do it right, I would have to turn off the main power switch.

Happy Birthday to your grandpa! 90. Wow! I didn't think about the fridge and freezer. Maybe it's okay to leave those things running, since wasted food is bad for the environment. Of course, you're ingenious enough to come up with a solution, which I'm not. I imagine by the end of this summer, your freezer will be very well stocked. Mandarine,

Not much choice left in your list for me except the blackout night. I will have to work out how the fridge and freezer will sustain the operation. Obviously, it's much easier to live without those two when one is a vegetarian growing one's own food than when one lives in the city and eats frozen burgers. I am somewhere in the middle. And you can count me in as contributor to this blog. Hi Emily,

Duly posted it on my blog - and putting up yet an addition to the list: Bake your own bread. Tip: Use organic flour etc. What a great and, surely, challenging idea.
