Tonight at 8:30 pm, I am taking part in Earth Hour.  Millions of people will be turning off their lights as a unified expression of concern about climate change and our planet. This global event is called "Earth Hour".

 It is sponsored by World Wildlife Fund. I read online that," Earth Hour got started just two years ago and is now the largest event of its kind in the world.  Last year, more than 50 million participated and the lights went out at the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sydney Opera House and the Coliseum in Rome, just to name a few. Even Google's homepage went black for the day! ""This year, Earth Hour will be even bigger - already 250 cities in 74 countries have agreed to take part including Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami and Nashville with more signing up every day. Around the world, cities like Moscow, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Shanghai and Mexico City will turn out their lights."

I would have posted this sooner but between my husband's car accident and messing up my back today, I thought Earth Hour was next Saturday. My sincere apologies for not posting this sooner.

WWF wants the US to have the most lights turned off than any other country in the world during this historic event.

Each one of us can participate. It's just a matter of turning off the lights. You'll cut down on a bill and at the sametime make a very strong statement which will be noticed by leaders worldwide. If you read this please join in.

 We are one family, human, sharing our one home, our beautiful Earth!
