At 8:30 PM * on Saturday night * 27 March 2010, we turned off all our lights, our computer, tv and stereo. Our family ate a late dinner by candlelight to observe the global "Earth hour 2010."About Earth hour: On Earth Hour, hundreds of millions of people around the world will come together to call for action on climate change by doing something quite simple—turning off their lights for one hour. The movement symbolizes that by working together, each of us can make a positive impact in this fight, protecting our future and that of future generations.
Yes we turned off our lights too, but not the TV. We sat there in the dark, hoping for something half decent to watch.
ReplyDeleteHmm! Now where have I been? Didn't know about that!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the memo. I'm ALWAYS the last to know...
ReplyDeleteso sorry we missed out on this great idea!
ReplyDeleteand it is a wonderful photo of your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteGlad you joined in! Quite a few in our street did, and it was nice to see. Last year, we were the only ones with a dark house!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping now that the Earth Hour organizers would move on to the next phase, beyond the annual event and all this PR.
I hope they have a next phase!
I have never heard of this before. I would have participated, but not sure my husband would have agreed! In any case, we were not home at that time so our lights and such were definitely out.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes just light candles when I get back home...I love the soft glow of the flame! Lovely family photo :)
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you also joined the Earth Hour, Leif!
ReplyDeletei did it,too
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea, I've already heard of it. I'm sorry that we missed to participate on it. Next time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a role model. Concratulation and a deep bow in respect. Please have a nice start into the new week.

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic Leif !! Hope you enjoyed it !!
ReplyDeleteA nice group by candlelight.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. It looks like a painting by one of my favorite painters, Georges de La Tour.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I think it's especially important to teach the younger generation about climate change and hopefully they'll do more to combat climate change than we're doing now.
ReplyDeleteNice with candlelight, should have done this more often:)
ReplyDeleteCandlelit pictures are so soft and romantic.
ReplyDeleteWe should turn off the lights more often.
