Earth Hour

Yesterday from 8:30 to 9:30 local time, was Earth Hour. It's pretty sweet, the idea is that by having everyone participating turning off all lights for the hour, to show support for protecting the earth and a vote against global warming. Whole cites including San Fran and Sydney, where this whole thing started, dim the city lights to show support.

It was a fun experience, although as I was packing last night I was home alone - but it was a nice change of pace. I just lit a candle and read a book. Here's a little more on how it went this year.

Critics claim that by lighting candle instead of compact florescent lights those participating in Earth Hour are actually contributing more CO2 thereby increasing global warming. What those people don't understand is that I don't thing that those who started Earth Hour mean to so much reduce emissions as to raise awareness and show support for environmentally friendly regulations.

Thanks Fox News.
