You’re thinking to yourself “But what am I going to do. I can’t see anything.” Although the Earth Hour website says it is okay to have your television or computer on I say turn them off, too. The point of Earth Hour is not to lower carbon footprints, as the website states, but to alert “those in a place of power that we as individuals and communities demand action [for climate change].” Well, although I get the symbolic emphasis of thousands and millions of people with their lights out, if the lights go out and there is still the television, a computer, video game, etc. still going on is it really showing anyone that you demand action for climate change? I say turn it all off.
What am I going to do for this hour?
Flash light tag
Candle lit dinner
Read by the fire or candle
Talk with your family or if you are by yourself, talk to yourself
Go to bed, get some extra sleep
Reenact colonial times by doing everything by candlelight
Write a letter
Make up a game in the dark
Look at the stars
Take an hour to be in silence
