Tonight at 8:00 pm, those of you here and your households may be interested in joining an international event this evening to bring alliances together and awareness of global warming to millions of people, and those big corporations too, in this worldwide event.

All you have to do is shut off your lights tonight at 8:00 pm for ONE hour....

There are lots of websites with info for you to get set up for a great hour of connecting with yourself, or your family, or neighbors, or in community happenings - or just take that candlelit hour to recycle, change lightbulbs to energy efficient ones, have a low key game of solitare, or watch the night sky...there are literally loads of ideas to fill an hour, which you may enjoy more than you realize right now, just enough to do it more often in the future.

The benefits are great, the cause is important, and it's a global effort that started with Australia last year and early this morning when it was 8:00 pm their time.
Figi goes dark, as well as the Phillipines, and other countries, as the day is spent turning to night - crossing the globe.

Check out www.EarthHour.org, and from there, go to the EarthHour Site Homepages at youtube, myspace, flickr, etc. Remember, these sites have a homepage where all the action is, so find those first.

Hope you enjoy the 'lights out' and feel connected tonight in a special way.

So, Saturday Night, March 29th, at 8:00 pm - EarthHour begins wherever you live, so for ONE HOUR you can be power free, so have a flashlight, candle, whatever you need on hand to guide you...and enjoy some real free fun for a change while making a statement that millions of others are joining in on, as well as some conscious companies, who join our large cities, towns and villages all over NorthAmerica, including Canada and Mexico tonight, and then beyond us...where you can follow too on your computers later on.

Have a happy EarthHour!

lol, yes it counts!!!!

I wanted to tell you guys that I noticed how inexpensive the newer coiled-shape low-energy lightbulbs are in stores this year and since they last so long, and save so much energy (and money), it's probably a great time to stock up.

I'm so glad we are waking up to the practicality of conservation, and the purpose of it all.
