Flip That Switch



Do you want to save some energy? Simply switch off your lights today March 28th from 8:30pm to 9:30 pm. This is Earth Hour and it will be the third annual worldwide event. Millions of homes and businesses and hundreds of landmarks will go dark for one hour to show that energy conservation is important. At the same time, Earth Hour reminds each of us how easy it is to conserve by just turning off non-essential lights and other electronics to reduce our own power. Earth Hour got it's start in Australia and is now 2,400 cities and 82 countries deep. Some famous landmarks will go dark for the event that include the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, St.Louis Gateway Arch, Sydney Opera House, the Space Needle, Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Egypt, Golden Gate Bridge, most of Philadelphia and the Broadway theater marquees in New York City. Even the flashy Las Vegas Strip and Welcome to Las Vegas sign will turn dark for one hour. This will be the first time in history the sign and strip will go dark for a whole hour. We should all get into the habit this weekend to conserve energy. And it can be made fun by having a candlelight dinner, tell ghost stories in the dark, or take a long walk. The Boy-Toy is like Oh you want to do this? So the Mistress's place will go all dark for the event tonight. And I can think of one thing to do in the dark that will make it fun!!!

  4. We did this, too! It was easier than I thought - we carried jar candles when we needed to go from room to room.
