How many wizards does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

The rain has made a surprise reappearance here in Oregon, not our usual July forecast. Well, if you’ve got the time, you can curl up and read the seventh and final Harry Potter book, which comes out tonight at midnight! Just stay up late reading the grand finale under lights powered by a renewable portfolio option (if you are in PGE or Pacific Power service territory). Despite the fact that the Renewable Energy Standard passed by the Oregon Legislature will soon dramatically increase Oregon’s clean energy portfolio, it’s never too early to make a personal choice for your family that will reduce greenhouse gases.
Or walk, bicycle or take public transit to the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie, now showing in many Oregon theaters. (A few of us are headed to a 4:00 showing this afternoon—hey, it’s practically the weekend and half of us are on summer vacation already!)
Whatever you do this weekend, don’t use energy you don’t need, and choose the energy you do consume wisely (the Energy Trust of Oregon offers tips on how to conserve, and invest in energy efficiency or renewable resources). Because whether we cast spells under power of a lightning-shaped scar, or simply live and work keeping in mind the source of our electrical power and the natural world that is affected by it, we can all make a bit of a difference.
