It's that time again! Time to turn off the lights, turn off the electricity for an hour on Saturday, March 31st starting at 8:30pm to support what is called "the largest environmental event in history." Last year was my first Earth Hour , and my kids really got into it. First I showed them the video of the cities and world monuments going dark, which was very powerful and helped them get the message. We talked about climate change and things people can do to take action. I believe that each and every one of us can help make a difference. This year's video looks like this: They say that over 135 countries participated last year, which I find very impressive. Someone recently asked me what the 60+ means on the logo. It refers to the 60 minutes of Earth Hour AND BEYOND. As in, what will you do beyond Earth Hour to make a difference. I've read that a lot of International celebrities have committed to certain environmental actions such as planting trees
