Did you turn out your lights for Earth Hour? Lots of people let their homes go dark between 8 and 9 pm tonight, both to save energy and to join in an enviro act of solidarity.

One downer side of Earth Hour — It’s fun, but it doesn’t make for the best pics! The evening was less dark and gloomy than it looks in the picture — even if I lost said dice game!

Blogian in Armenia texted friends “Happy Earth Hour.” Tracy and Patrick of West Seattle Blog “turned off everything but the computers,” though the rest of Seattle was sadly brighter than dark. Essential Keystrokes kinda missed it — but at least had all non-essential lights off.
Had fun during Earth Hour? Share the deets of your celebration in the comments!

Glad you still have the chocolate chip cookies to work on. I’m so glad to have all the girl scout cookies out of the apt. –
