Earth Hour

We had a Earth Hour party at our house, I don't think we turned on any lights until like 11pm, it was awesome, although I missed the first part it included music, stories, lots of candles, even more laughter, brownies with cream cheese (what an amzing idea), and many good friends.

Here are some pictures of what Earth Hour in Toronto looked like

This is just before Earth Hour an average evening in Downtown Toronto

This is during Earth Hour, Lots of lights still on, but many of them are off.

Earth Hour

I just checked some news items on Toronto, and in case you didn't know. Toronto is participating in Earth Hour 2008 big time. March the 29th all city buildings will power down a well as businesses, hotels, individuals, and whoever else. More than 50 cities, 1,000 businesses, and 20000 people in Canada have signed up, Toronto being the main partner in Canada. They will celebrate with a "carbon-neutral" unplugged concert that will feature Nelly Furtado and others. I think it would be cool listening to an unplugged concerts in a "dark" downtown Toronto.

While it could be seen as cities, businesses and people being trendy and being environmentally concerned, still it is happening. All are powering down for 1 hour. Hamilton signed up as well, however, I have not heard of any events or such here. Who knows, we are still 20 days away.

Maybe one day all those lights will be off at the same time and the world won't look like this at night.
