Lights Out for Earth Hour!

Greetings from a candlelit house!  Yes, we too are participating in Earth Hour, a "lights out" initiative originally conceived in March of 2007 in Sydney, Australia by the World Wildlife Fund.  That year most of the city shut off their lights and saved enough energy to equivalent to taking 48,000 cars off the road.  Not bad, eh?  Well, it gets even better---this year Earth Hour has gone global.  North American cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, San Francisco, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver have all signed on to the idea.  Other cities in Denmark, Australia, Columbia, Thailand, New Zealand, Ireland, the Philippines, Bolivia, Fiji, and Israel are also taking part. 

So, turn your lights off from 8-9 p.m. on Saturday, March 29th and do something good for the Earth!
