Earth Hour 2008


Last year in my lovely lil (big) home town of Sydney, 2.2million peeps and 2,100 businesses turned their lights off for one hour. The result was the equivalent of taking 48,616 cars off the road.
This year the movement is going global. I urge you to please turn off all the lights in your home or wherever you are from 8-9pm this Saturday 29th March. It's a way we can all do something for this most beautiful environment of ours. last year some friends and I went up onto the hill at Sydney park where crowds had gathered to watch the lights dim and it was a great uniting community event. Following that we went to a local bar and had a beer by candlelight. For more info, check out the Earth Hour website and please do sign up to show your support.

Did you see that the only city that didn't make an effort on this was London? I actually felt ashamed.

That is dissappointing. Well next year...you have your mission cut out for you Kara :) Even if you get all your friends involved it would be worthwhile.
