Earth Hour takes place today! Tonight at 8:30pm, local time, you can join in with millions of people and business across the country and the world to switch off your lights and support the fight against global warming. The goal this year is 1 BILLION people voting to switch off their lights from 8:30-9:30 pm. Join in!!!
Go to EarthHour.org to add your vote of participation or just simply, shut your lights off! If you DO participate, let me know what you did or plan to do for your hour of "lights out." Did you play a board game by candlelight? Will you have a pillow fight in the dark? Leave a comment, let me know, and I have a very special book to give away to one of you!! You have until Sunday night at midnight to enter!
Don't forget to turn OFF your lights!!!
Thanks for the reminder. I put my son to bed around that time. Usually when he falls asleep (after much cajoling) I run to my laptop. Today I'll rest next to him for the remainder of the hour (we cosleep), and just take time to appreciate him awhile.
I invited my 82 year old mother over for dinner, and then my husband, my mom and I are going to go for a candle walk. It's really nice because many other community members will be outside.
My 2 kids, husband and I lit a bunch of candles, turned up the stereo, and danced! We didn't turn the lights back on until about 9:50.
We went out for a nighttime hike...fun! Hope you all enjoyed your walk, too!
