"Earth Hour", what an idea.. It seems to have worked. It's amazing how you can create an idea in today's world and turn it into a worldwide event in just one year.
I encourage everyone to go to the Earth Hour site and explore the information and learn more about the cause.
Earth hour was on March 29th at 8pm in your local time zone. The idea is to turn OFF your lights for just one hour. Originally created in Sidney Australia has blossomed to a worldwide event. Moscow, Chicago, over 200 major cities, and millions of people joined us in turning out the lights.
the whole purpose is for everyone to realize and wake-up to the amount of energy we all use and also to note how easy it could be to save just a little.
Here are a few photos on My family and I celebrating "Earth Hour".
Funny story about "Earth Hour" was my wife and I were out shopping and my 8 year old son called us from his cell about 7:55 and asked if we were coming home soon (he wasn't alone, our teenage daughter was with him). He was concerned that we were going to be out and about when the lights went off..!
We explained to him that the power would still be on, but that we were planning to turn them off ourselves... He thought.. How can Earth get the help it needs if only a few people to it.. I later brought up the Earth Hour site and explained that millions of people joined us in turning out the lights. He was glad we did and hoped Earth got the message that we care.
