In conjunction with the upcoming Earth Day, Houstonians are urged to participate in Lights Out, a city-wide agreement to turn off all public building lights when not in use. If the wee hours of the night have ever found you driving through downtown Houston, you've no doubt wondered why on earth so many people are working at 3 a.m. The truth is, many of these workers left their places of business long before dark and simply failed to turn their off their lights. This unnecessary energy usage costs our city nearly $1 million each year.
Today, Mayor Annise Parker is inviting Houstonians to do their part in reducing the city's energy usage by turning of their lights when at all possible throughout the day, especially upon leaving their jobs for the day.
