We do what we can each day here at our house to live mindfully and intentionally and not use more than we need of the planet’s finite resources. Turning off the lights for an hour might have only been a symbolic gesture, but it was nevertheless a gesture we wanted to make.
“Earth Hour” is an awareness campaign by the World Wildlife Fund, a worldwide effort to encourage humans to think about the resources we use, and to maybe help us see ways we can conserve. The idea was simple: Turn lights off for an hour, starting at 8:30 PM local time last Saturday night.
We invited neighbors to come over and hang out with us by candle- and lantern light. We shared good conversation and ate junk food. If nothing else, “Earth Hour” was a good excuse for a party.
