Earth Hour
Have you heard of it? For the second year, this Saturday (March 29th) between 8 and 9 pm the World Wildlife Foundation is asking people to voluntarily turn off all non-essential lights for the hour. Check out the website: www.earthhour.org This has become a world-wide event! Closer to home here, Chicago (one of the flagship cities for the U.S.) will have signature skyscrapers and shops on Michigan Ave. black for the hour. What a great way to send a message about how we can slow climate change.
Hope you'll check it out.

It's getting a decent amount of press here in Toronto too. I'll be participating through a nice late candlelit dinner :)

I turn off non-essential lights all the time. Or, ok, 95% of the time - I do forget occasionally.

I wish I was so good about that. Dark houses depress me, so I end up surrounding myself with light to make up for it.

I've been sending out reminders all over the place.

... will have signature skyscrapers and shops on Michigan Ave. black for the hour.
Why the hell do they have to turn those skyscraper lights back on at 9pm?

Earth Hour is the first hour of the rest of your life.
