Will you be joining me, and hopefully millions of other people, in Earth Hour today - Saturday, March 29? At 8pm your local time, turn off your lights for an hour, no matter where you are at that time. Think of the difference a movement like this will make, even for a day. Now think about the difference it would make if we did it every single day.

We have been doing several things to live a greener life. For instance, we drive less and only when it is actually necessary, which is usually once a week. We have also switched to energy efficient light bulbs throughout the house. Some may be turned off by this, but we also follow the “if it’s yellow, let it mellow” thing. Recycling is also a part of our life, as is making it a routine to turn off the things in our house that aren’t being used: tv, lights, appliances - things like that. These are only a few of the things that we do.

This is our Earth. It’s time for all of us to take responsibility for it’s upkeep.

So, what do you say - will you join me for Earth Hour?
