Earth Hour


Last night we celebrated Earth Hour. We turned out our lights at 8:30 pm and kept them off for 60 minutes. This was our "vote" for earth. It was actually really fun. Myles light candles, and he played the guitar and sung to Adelaide. I spent most of the hour on the phone with my dad, but it was still nice to be in the candle light without the distraction of the TV or anything. Adelaide LOVED the candle lights, and so did the kitties!
I read that our city turned out a lot of major lights here as well, including the convention center tower lights and the "Made in Oregon" sign. I hope this is something that keeps growing, until one day we all have our lights off for the hour. I really think of this planet as belonging to Adelaide and her generation now, and we need to try and fix some of what we have ruined, and try not to make things worse.
