Earth Hour

The World Wildlife Fund is asking people to turn off their lights for one hour this Saturday at 8:30 p.m. to show concern about global warming and a commitment to finding a solution. Businesses and landmarks around the world are participating, too. All Marriott hotels will be participating, and Coca-Cola will turn off iconic signs around the world. Also going dark for an hour will be the Acropolis in Athens; the Eiffel Tower; the Empire State Building; and the Sphinx and Great Pyramids of Giza.

This sounds like a great opportunity to study the night sky, roast some marshmallows around a campfire, sit on the porch and talk to your neighbors or have a candlelight dinner. You can find out more information at the official Web site.
