Earth Hour 2011

To all you environmentalists and nature friendly folk, Earth Hour is here once again!


For those of you that are not aware of what Earth Hour is, it is a moment of recognition of the impact we have on the Earth. Through raising awareness of just what kind of way we change our own environment we also raise hope of changing negative tendencies and reducing our carbon footprint.

Tonight, Saturday 26th, at 8:30pm EST people will be turning off all their lights and electronic appliances for one hour. This will be happening all over the world, people will be lighting candles and having a dinner or just taking it easy.

A lot of people think "What is the use of that? Turning lights off for only an hour?" It is not solely the act of that single hour, but the impact and the awareness it brings afterward.
After your hour is over, think to yourself about what you can do to lower your carbon footprint and help the Earth just a little bit more.


Myself? I'll be lighting some candles and finally taking a moment to learn how to play chess!


Help spread the word about Earth Hour! Have a good one, everybody!
