28th March 2009 is the day where everyone will turn of their lights for 1 hour at 8:30 pm, regardless of where they live on earth.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you are all aware of that but are you actually going to do it? I am, though I'm afraid of the dark. Gotta get me some spare candles. :D

Basically, it's about the little things you can do to reduce your gigantor carbon footprint. Hey, you've gotta face the facts. We are literally plunging our only home in a slow, painful massacre.

So, I went to the website and here's what I found;

Here are 10 different ways to spend Earth Hour and reduce your carbon footprint:

1. Attend a local Earth Hour event or organise your own by throwing an Earth Hour street party with your neighbours
2. Gather family & friends for a night picnic in your local park and look at the stars
3. Enjoy a family dinner by candlelight
4. Organise a treasure hunt in the dark
5. Take the dog for a night walk
6. Have a candle-lit bath
7. Sit in the dark and share stories
8. Organise a family night playing board games
9. Share a romantic night in with your loved one
10. Upload your ‘on the night’ photos and videos to flickr and YouTube respectively.

Haha, yeap. Number 5 sounds fun. So does 7 and 9. OH. Who wouldn't wanna do 6? Don't burn your house down though. Can you imagine the gas released in the air if you actually do burn down your house? The whole point of 60 Earth Hour would be pointless.

Just kidding. Of course I care about you and your loved ones. :D

So yes, turn off your lights (or power) for just one hour on the 28th. It won't kill you.
