On Saturday, March 29, 2008 at 8pm, turn off your lights for one hour to be part of a global statement on climate change. The Earth Hour even was created by the World Wildlife Fund and took place for the first time in Sydney, Australia last year...
Earth Hour: Turn Out Your Lights Tomorrow Night!
...but this time around the whole world is in on it.
Here is the scoop from the website: " In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town."

We'll enjoy a dinner hour by candlelight tomorrow night, why not? Anyone else plan to join in?

We were just planning our earth hour night before I read this post - looks like we'll plan to have a candlelight dinner, then have our 2 daughters play a piano "concert" for us afterwards.

The bdnews is a candle apparently puts more cardon dioxide into the atmosphere than a globe. Sigh.
It got very dark and quiet here in my Sydney street - and a 9:01 a party started - very loud music till midnight. Hmmm .... Hopefully they used pedal power like in Tel Aviv.
With regard to babies - out here it's hard to tell. The birthrate spikes in spring & summer and 9 months after March 31 is Dec 31.

should check speling - 'bad news' and 'carbon dioxide'.
