Earth Day started in the U.S. in 1969 and Earth Hour was pioneered by the World Wildlife Foundation in Australia in 2007. Cheers, Ros Hi Pete,

Both events are celebrated globally. Earth Day started in the U.S. in 1969 and Earth Hour was pioneered by the World Wildlife Foundation in Australia in 2007.

Cheers,

Was it only an American thing, or we Brit's 'kept in the dark' so to speak? Pete. I have to say quite honestly that THIS is the first I’ve heard about ‘Earth Hour’ or ‘Earth day’.

I managed to convince Ed that turning the TV off was part of the 'deal'. :-) I was really impressed by Toronto's reported decrease in usage... 8.7%. Woohoo! Elizabeth,

Well, my husband had to watch his hockey game, and I read. We almost forgot about it, until we noticed the neighbourhood looked a little "black." And then, we remembered. I just want to mention though that earlier in the day, we were quite proud ourselves as we watched a news item on TV talking about the lightbulbs we should all be using when the standard models will be phased out. Of course, we have already started to switch. And then they talked about don't ever drop one. They have mercury in them, and you will literally have to call in a special crew to clean it up. Needless to say, I hope it's a long time before I ever have to change one. Here in Ontario, we took part. Well, my husband had to watch his hockey game,

As for myself... I celebrated Earth Hour with a David Takayoshi Suzuki book burning block party.

Berget Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:07:45 +0000 http://www.netprofitstoday.com/blog/lights-out-on-google/#comment-80208 I didn't see google with the black background. It's great that Google helps to spread awarness of earth hour, this might actually make a difference. It would probably help more if Google actually shut down their servers for one hour though (LOL). I will turn off my light bulbs, it might not help a lot ... but it will certainly help if enough people will do it. It's a goog thing I saw your post in time, it's only 38 minutes left until 8 pm :-) Thank you for sharing. I didn’t see google with the black background.
