Celebrate Mother Earth by turning off your lights tonight at 8:30pm on March 26th! Wherever you are, at 8:30pm on 3/26, turn off your lights for one hour. Last year, Earth Hour was celebrated by 128 countries and lights went out at major symbolic places such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, CA.
This is an impetus, a point of change for each of us. This is a great way to introduce your children to ways to help the earth. We can use this hour to reflect on how we can help Mother Earth everyday. Some simple examples include: using less electric during the day, using cotton tote bags instead of plastic, walking or bicycling to work or the store, and gardening for your veggies and fruits. Just adding one of these to your year ahead will make a huge difference when it is multiplied by the millions of people in the United States and the billions of people around the world.
