Earth Hour


It's Earth Hour around the world.  Be sure to turn off your non-essential lights at 8:30 tonight and leave them off for an hour.  Read or eat by candlelight.* Turn off the tv and computer. We might not be able to stare at the stars in New England due to rain but if you are in Boston the dimming of the cityscape will be lovely.

*Here's an article that warns that one candle use releases more carbon than an incandescent bulb. Let's put things in perspective, though. Turn out all the lights and light one candle.
