Tonight, for the 15th consecutive year, people around the world will turn off their lights for one
hour……
Earth Hour is an annual tradition started by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, to raise awareness about climate change. Participants in more than 190 countries will turn off their lights for one hour on Saturday.
Global landmarks -- including the Sydney Opera House, the Gateway of India, the Beijing Phoenix Center in China, the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, the Colosseum in Italy, the Empire State Building in the United States and Christ the Redeemer in Brazil -- will turn off their lights to show support for the campaign.
……..
You can mark Earth Hour by turning off your lights from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. in your local time zone.
The official Earth Hour website suggests seven ways that supporters can spend their lights-off hour, including reconnecting with nature and attending local Earth Hour events in their communities.
The WWF also recommends that supporters "take action beyond the hour, whether it is supporting a local WWF project or getting involved in Earth Hour campaigns in their own country, or starting the movement in their own community."

around the neighborhood is and would be encouraged and pleased. We can't see each other for the most part, but lights do show when anything does.
Mosquitoes are out here in FL now, so even though it's warm we unfortunately probably won't be sitting out for a whole hour looking at the sky. We both have ebooks to keep us entertained.
