So several sources have encouraged us to turn off our lights from 8-9pm tonight for Earth Hour. Is that all we have to do? Turn off the lights? We can do that . . . as long as S. doesnt have to do without TV. Or Xbox.
Are we still participating if we self-clean the oven for 3.5 hrs, turn the heat and AC on at the same time (with the doors and window open,) and let the cars idle in the driveway the entire evening?
We'll be a part of Earth Hour, because it's smart to be aware of our personal contribution to the global footprint. But I found this amusing: http://www8.earthhourus.org/ has tips for what to do when the lights are off to stave off the boredom. One of them is READ.
um . . . with no lights, how?
But I'm still playing along, still hanging in there - sometimes you have to get creative. How about candles? and it will be dusk/dark. If candleflame is put up against a window pane, the reflection will produce 2x(?) the amount of light - at least it seems reasonable that it would. This could work . . . and I've been looking for an excuse to start "The New Weird."
Ahhhh . . . Saturday nights in the A. household. Riveting.
