making a point

So did you participate in Earth Hour last night?

I did not. I honestly didn't even know about it until Mom told me, and I was at a party where a band was playing. We really conserved a lot of energy.

If you didn't know about it, it's an hour where the whole world is supposed to turn off all the lights in order to make a "Conserve energy" statement. I didn't notice any difference in Morgantown, but plenty of cities definitely went dark between 8:30 and 9:30.

Here are a couple of the cities around the world:

Athens

New Delhi, India

Phillipines?

Beijing

France

Malaysia

Toronto

The Vatican

NYC

Dubai

London

Some places didn't do it completely, but some definitely did, and it's pretty cool. If only I had known about it ahead of time.

love,
