[edit] Earth, Northern Hemisphere
- August 2, 2008 First Annual International Smoke-Free Cookout Day! The first Saturday in August is the midsummer Saturday, so if the sun is shining, get out your cookers and cook. If possible, take your cookers to a park or town square and cook where other people can see. Let's show the world what solar cookers can do! SharonID is declaring it a holiday and hopes others will join her. How many cookers can we light up the world with on the second of August? (Due to the way weather works, there is no way to have a solar cooking celebration for the whole world on one day. Hopefully the equatorial regions and the southern tier will decide to have a similar holiday during their best cooking seasons.)
