Did your vote count?

What did I do for Earth Hour you ask?

It was almost 8:30 and both kids were more then comfortable going to bed to do their part. No need for a night light when a little tea candle could do the job with more flicker.

My better half Tania lit candles around the house. I made sure any unnecessary electronics were unplugged. We sat on the couch with the pleasant darkness and peaceful quiet. We chatted about the kids and how perfect we thought they were, especially when sleeping. We discuessed a few issues like our home, business, and took some fun photos with the candles and kids' toys. We even managed to wonder, how they did it in the past before Thomas Edison put the lightbulb on the map.

We peered out the window to notice a couple of neighbours with lights on throughout the house and wondered how anyone could be so oblivious? We had to check out the rest of the community so out the front door we went and WOW, it was dark almost everywhere. Although, one home right across the street seemed to have voted for Global Warming since even the Christmas Lights were turned on for the Hour. We took some photos of the homes not participating and forwarded the addresses to the WWF. Okay, just kidding about that but come on... An hour?

It was over before we even realized the hour was up. I am curious to see how our town compared with the world.

One Hour was easy.

Perhaps the WWF could have asked for a donation of a dollar from everyone.

How much money do you think they would have raised?
