Well if anybody ever hears of an "Earth Hour" again, let the rest of us know. And post the URL so that we can investigate it as well.

I found a countdown to next year's earth hour. We're on solar electric power so we wouldn't make a difference in the numbers. We are extremely conservative anyway.
See the difference you can make - Earth Hour 2008

Good to know that you're pretty much off the grid.

Thanks for posting that up. It's good to know that many of us in the GTA were able to make a difference and show results like that to inspire others into knowing that this kind of activity actually can make a big difference. I wish I had remembered -- I feel like an idiot for forgetting about it.

Apparently there is another 'Earth Hour' being planned for Earth-Day proper at the end of the month so I figure I can redeem myself by adhering to that one. There really should just be one of these a month!

Well, now I don't have to worry about Earth hour. I signed up for their e-mail list. I will be participating in the next one! Thank you for the URL I really appreciate.

I received another Facebook invitation for participating in Earth Hour at the end of this month (on Earth Day). It would be really cool if a bunch of us on here could participate together.

What day is Earth day? I'd do it if I'm not working.
