Earth Hour

All it took was to walk around the house and make sure the lights were off and all electronic equipment was off.  So not only the lights, but the power bars went off at 8:00PM.

The The Toronto Star pretty well dedicated the Saturday edition to Earth Hour. 

So for the hour, my house was in darkness, save for candlelights and my LED flashlight- had to do Sudoku don't you know.

According to the results, the Province of Ontario witnessed a decrease of 5.2%.  When one considers that our climate was not the best to turn off either lights or heat, this isn't bad.  It proves we can lower the demands for electricity and perhaps stop pumping all that greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.

This is certainly not an end to global warming, but it proves we can do something and make a start. 

While governments and corporations want to drag their feet, it is the grassroots that will bring about the reduction of emissions and stop the global warming of our planets.  You have got to believe.
