Earth Hour!
So, last year when I was in France, I heard (for the first time) of this thing called Earth Hour. And apparently it's happening again this year. If you're unfamiliar with Earth Hour, here's a brief description for you I stole from some other news post:
Earth Hour: What It's All About
Earth Hour is scheduled for 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. in your local time zone this Saturday, March 28. The goal is send a message to governments everywhere that more should be done to combat climate change. Leaving your lights on, the WWF says, is a "vote for global warming." (Not that they're trying to guilt you into participating or anything...)
The WWF is hoping a billion people worldwide will make the switch. The results of the hour will be presented at a Global Climate Change Conference later this year.
So, tomorrow I'm gonna turn my lights off for an hour. Care to join me?
