Earth Hour

You have probably noticed that the Google homepage is black, today. No, they’re not in mourning…it’s to show their support for Earth Hour.
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia in 2007 with more than two million businesses (including the world famous Sydney Opera House) and households turning off their lights for one hour at 8:00 p.m. It’s an attempt to draw attention to climate change. “If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.”

This year Earth Hour goes global. Denver, Honolulu, Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal, Copenhagen, Dublin, Tel Aviv, and, of course, Sydney, among others are participating.

I’ve got my alarm set for 8:00 p.m. I really want to do this but (you know me) if I don’t set my alarm, I’ll probably forget. That’s the “scatterbrain” in me. Good intentions but I need a kick to keep me focused!

So light some candles, have a glass of wine or a cup of coffee or a beer, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet for one hour. Get the kids involved. They’ll love it! Invite some friends. That’s what we’re going to do. One hour.

I’ve also noted it on my Squidoo lens with a link to the video. So you can click on this link, if you like. http://www.squidoo.com/QuestForAGreenerLife

Pass the word. Every little thing we do helps.
