Hello everyone!
I'm sipping coffee with my computer right now. And I felt like "chatting" a bit, so here's my question:
Did you check this? http://www.earthhour.org/home/ . Our friends "Down Under" started this a couple years ago.
Will you be turning off the lights this Saturday? Earth hour will happen on Saturday, March 28th, 8:30pm for each timezone. I'm planning to do this, and have a romantic dinner with my hubby, starting 8:30. The food should be ready by then, there's no point in turning the lights but keeping the oven going... Candles, a stroll in the garden to check the stars and the moon? Sounds good?
Come join me for a candle-lit dinner!

Baby turn OFF the light... Earth hour - Should we?
If you will, travel with me (and give me more reasons to travel) to see our beautiful world!
I think it's a good time to take you to a trip! Feel free to jump in with photos of places or things that impressed you and that are worth turning the lights off an hour a year.
The first pictures are from the not-so-often seen Romania, because the best way to travel is the non-organized way. These are old pictures, taken with an old-fashioned camera, and scanned by me, so their quality is not the best (well, my scanning device isn't)
Bicaz "Canyon" (I know, maybe it's too much to call it canyon, but in lack of the proper word...) (Cheile Bicazului) is carved by the Bicaz river through the Eastern Carpathian mountains, and connects Transilvania to Moldova.
A narrow road travels parallel to the river, along the whole canyon. Do you see me pointing down to show the river?
Hey, Dutchlady, thanks for coming over! I don't know what to say, I'll turn mine off, the only thing on in my house will be the fridge, I think. Do as you feel.
Honestly, if we were to do this once a week, once a month - think of how much power would be saved.
Every day I turn off everything & open blinds and windows well, except for the puter. :D
I am the only one here so I love the natural light & no big deal.
I unplug things that are not necessary, hair dryer, toaster, etc.
These things pull power wether we realize it or not. Not only do I save on my utility bill, but saving our power sources is a great thing. I do as much as I can everyday. Don't get me into recycling either! lol
if people were to do this just for Saturday though, it'd be awesome. BUT if it were practiced more often, that would be even better!
Thanks for the great pics. Mother Earth always has something breathtaking to offer us!
Wonderful! please keep them coming!
wow, love them all!!!!
