New green initiative: Turn your damn computer off

To tell the truth, this editor is quite in support of at least some tenets this new environmental initiative, even if she's already breaking it right now: a group of Chinese websites have started something called "NC63," short for "No Computer 63 Hours," which advises people to shut down their PCs at 6pm on Friday and not start them up again until 9am on Monday. The group “hope(s) to call everyone to take real action to support a low-carbon, green life, to support environmental undertakings for the public welfare, and to choose and support the earth, by turning off your computer for the weekend,” according to the WSJ. Not only do you help save the environment, you're also doing your health and social life a great service. As someone still blogging late into the night, we say preach it sister!
