1. Log onto the Blackout Sabbath site and check out the proposal and links.
2. Go to the unamplified candle lit concert on March 4th featuring me and my family and many others such as Sean Lennon, Teddy Thompson, Jenni Muldaur, Sloan Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche and other special guests! at the City Winery.
3. Make plans for what you will do on the day of Blackout Sabbath (June 20th), i.e. what you will cook ahead of time, who you will spend it with, etc.
4. On June 20, 2009 starting at 12 noon, turn off the lights, unplug your fridge, walk or bike everywhere, do as much as you can to "live off the grid" for the day. But still, even if you just turn off one light, that will be an effort and a contribution.
5. As darkness descends: light your candle, take out your pencil and pad and write down your list of things that you will do in the next year to contribute to the earth's well-being.
6. Put the list on your fridge with a magnet and keep it there for a year.
7. At midnight, resume your life and try and keep your promises.
8. This exercise will be repeated the next year, at which point you can review your list and make a NEW one!
