i am always looking for ways to "go green".  there are so many simple little things that we can do to make our world a better place.  tomorrow night at 8:00 pm i plan to participate in "earth hour".

check it out:

earth hour 

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the  World Wildlife Fund.

 Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and  Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.

 We invite everyone throughout North America and around the world to turn off the lights for an hour starting at 8 p.m. (your own local time)–whether at home or at work, with friends and family or solo, in a big city or a small town.

 What will you do when the lights are off? We have lots of ideas.

 Join people all around the world in showing that you care about our planet and want to play a part in helping to fight climate change. Don’t forget to sign up and let us know you want to join Earth Hour.

 One hour, America. Earth Hour. Turn out for Earth Hour!

we are planning on having friends over for a cook out, so we will finish up with our dinner and head outside to sit around our fire pit to chat by firelight from 8-9.  we will turn off all sources of power in our house, enjoy our friends, listen to the sounds of night, and look at the stars.  what are you going to do?
