Turn off the lights!»

Tonight at 8:00 PM in your own local time, turn off your lights for one hour to participate in a global statement about climate change:

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.


And go check out the front page of Google: they already have...

5. Feel free to unplug your TV and computer too

and go outside or something. Many people don't realize that electronics still use electricity when they are off.

10. Yes, ma'am, will do! Perfect opportunity to read by candlelight...

or it might be a good time to clean out my closet. If I can't see what I'm packing up to give away, or throw out, I might actually make some progress. :silly:

Taking a break from posting in ER. Saturday mornin' "chore" that I actually rather adore.

Hope all is well with you. Keep fightin' the good fight!
