earth day - A day when you turn off the thing you need the most, just to

A day when you turn off the thing you need the most, just to feel good about yourself.

I turned off the lights in my house for Earth Day, even though it was 2 a. m. and I needed light to see my face.

I turned off the AC during a heatwave because I thought I was helping the planet. I was wrong.

My phone died on Earth Day because I turned it off. I was sad, but I felt good about myself.
