A show of support for action on climate change.

Not really scrap related but definitely life related.  (which if you are alive and reading this you have!!!)

So I wanted to post about this (and yes I know I posted earlier today but it is all that blogging I have been doing in my head).  I don't know if you have heard about this or not but it happens tomorrow so I wanted to make sure you knew.

So basically we all know that we need to reduce our energy consumption. So the

is hosting Earth Hour tomorrow night - Saturday, March 29 - 8:00-9:00pm (your local time). 

All you need to do is turn off your lights for that one hour.  Pretty simple. 

You can sign up to register if you want here but you don't have to sign up to participate.  There are many landmarks in North American and around the world that are going to turn off their lights - Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco; Alcatraz Jail, San Francisco; Sydney Opera House, Sydney, Australia; Brighton Pier, UK and the Sears Tower, Chicago.  This idea started last year in Sydney, Australia but has spread worldwide this year.  I know here in Toronto they are going to try to get the city as dark as possible with businesses and residents turning off the lights.

How amazing is that?

I am hoping it will be a clear night so we can see the night sky without all the light pollution - should be pretty awesome!  I keep you posted on how we spend the hour.  I am going to make it fun for the kidlets to encourage them that they don't need all the high tech stuff to have a great time - some wonderful family time I am sure.

So think about participating and help raise awareness - please...
