Just to let everyone know that tonight is Earth Hour. Starting at 8:30 tonight, and around the world, huge n

umbers of people are hoping that you will turn off all your lights for at least one hour. Since this event started in Australia a couple of years ago, millions of people world wide have participated. Though it seems a small, insignificant thing to do, when milions do it, the effects can have an impact if only for awareness of the impact we have on our environment and the amount of energy we use.

Tonight, Siena, my wife and I will be turning out our lights and other appliances (including the T.V and the computer!!!) and spending time together in the dark. It sounds like it is going to be fun.

We will also take a picture and add it to the blog after the event. If you would like to participate, make sure your lights are off at 8:30 tonight!!!

It would also be fun if you took a picture of your family do something during that time, whether playing board games by candlelight or whatever. Send it to our email and we will put the collection of photos up as a slideshow or animoto!!!

Here is a video about the event:
