Get Set for Earth Hour!

Are you all prepared for Earth Hour this year? For those of you who don't know, Earth Hour is taking place on Saturday 26 March from 8:30pm to 9:30pm, when we turn out all the lights and everything else in our houses (except the furnace and the fridge!) to save energy and raise awareness.
This is their logo:

"60" represents the 60 minutes in an hour, by the way, and the + signifies that we will go "beyond the hour".

So, what are you going to be doing during Earth Hour? Here are a few of my own favourite tips:

1) Light some soy wax candles and enjoy a late candlelit dinner

2) Take a walk

3) Sleep (that's what I'll be doing! As a matter of fact, my Earth Hour will be an hour earlier, from 7:30pm to 8:30pm)

4) Host a party, make your own music, chat with friends, serve veggie sandwiches, etc.

5) Practice your storytelling skills with family or friends

6) Play cards, board games, and any other games you know of

7) Cuddle with your animal friends

8) Make a list of ways to help the environment in the future!

Make sure you unplug your appliances so electricity won't go down the drain! Even unplug your digital clocks-- you still have your watches and analog clocks, right?

Have fun!
