Tonight, if EVERYONE switches their lights off, imagine how pretty the sky will look! People and businesses in Sydney, Australia began celebrating Earth Hour in March 2007, the movement went global in 2008 and David Cameron calls it "A huge symbol of global solidarity."
Go to the WWF Home Page for more, or search facebook for your local news and photos.
Don't be the only one with your lights on!
The boys and I are crying with laughter over this! Anyone who's lived in the tropics can relate!
Once you've turned all your lights off, including outdoor security lights, go outside and look at the stars.
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.

I had this happen with bats in Jamaica! Lights off- let's give it a try.
Our lights were off... but the kids (and friends) decided to build a campfire, so not sure how that worked out, carbon-footprint-wise!
I don't mind turning off the lights. It's the TV that we can't live without. Is that cheating?
