Earth Hour tonight: Turn off your lights

Tonight lights will go off all over the world for one hour at 8:30 pm local time in observance of the third annual Earth Hour, a practice begun in Australia to show worldwide support for efforts to lower greenhouse gases and care for the earth. 

As I write this, the lights have already gone off in Sydney and the lights will continue going off around the globe for one hour at a time. So, if it is safe for you to do so, turn off your lights at 8:30 pm local time for one hour. To learn more about what you can related to Earth Hour, click HERE. And if you haven't already, please read my related post from yesterday, below.
