[1]On Saturday, March 28, 2015, take the time to turn off your lights at 8:30 pm (in your local time zone) for Earth Hour. Earth Hour is a worldwide collective display of commitment to protect something that unites us all – the planet.
Who participates in Earth Hour?
Hopefully you do! Earth Hour was spearheaded in 2007 by WWF (World Wildlife Fund [2]) in Sydney, Australia. The movement has grown exponentially and now includes the Empire State Building, Times Square, the Golden Gate Bridge and other iconic buildings and landmarks throughout the world.
Here are a few ideas for honoring Earth Hour:
- Have a candle light dinner
- Check out the stars
- Play a board game by candle light
- Talk and tell stories
- Take the dog for a walk
- Have a romantic, early evening
How will you be spending Earth Hour?
I challenge you to go beyond the hour and continue on a daily basis to take action to make our world a better place.
Where will you be this Saturday night at 8:30 pm? Can you commit to turning off your lights?
With Earth Hour almost upon us, I join in with the creators of Earth Hour by sending my thoughts and prayers to the people of Japan during this incredibly challenging and sad time for their country.
