Earth Hour
Today is Earth hour
For one hour at 8pm, March 28th, 2009 everyone on the planet is asked to shut their lights, televisions and any-non essential electrical power- off.
Earth hour was started in Australia and is a message of hope, action for the people of earth- to stop global warming.
Before it stops us.
Earth hour started in 2008 and is used as a symbolic message - to get the word out and heighten response to global warming.
Earth hour is an international event organized by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature/Wildlife Fund)
It is the last Saturday of March yearly. Currently 82 countries and 2100 cities are committed to the event.
This would be a good time to light candles, play games and talk.

After reading this, we did
After reading this, we did it last night, turned everything off except the fridge and the freezer, had our evening meal by candlelight, then played cards. The children found it fun, so I think we may be doing it again before March 2010.
