How did you celebrate Earth Hour? I thought it might be too light in Indiana to really make an impression on my three year old, but we certainly were able to talk about conserving earth's resources by turning out the lights. OK, so with a toddler maybe I did not address all of Earth Hour's questions - Is the world heating up? Are all the claims about greenhouse gas emissions just empty talk? Or are there figures to support arguments that global warming, the world’s greatest environmental threat, is happening...right now? But our one household did join government agencies (the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5), private business (Verizon) and not-for-profits (American Bird Conservancy) as well as major global cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver to "go dark" for this educational opportunity. We took a lights-out opportunity to serve dinner by candlelight and play hide and seek in the dark. Turns out Earth Hour was a great way to turn off the TV for a while and tell stories on the couch. My daughter liked it so much she had an Earth Hour on Sunday, too.

Our Firm also participated in Earth Hour, an hour when millions of people in cities around the world joined together to make a statement about climate change and turned out its lights Saturday, March 29th from 8 - 9 in order to participate. Looks like going dark can be green.
