Participate in Earth Hour Day today, beginning at 8.30pm in the United States, and turn off all the lights in your home for one hour. Earth Hour (earthhour.org) unites millions of people around the world and gives them the hope that together we can make a difference.Take this hour to sit with your significant other or invite some pals over for a candlelit evening of togetherness. Just be. Together.
Switch off lights when you leave a room, don’t leave the faucet running if you’re not actively using it, use energy-saving light bulbs, opt for blankets over turning on the heater and choose portable fans over air conditioning… All of these will lower your utility bills and help preserve the planet. It just makes cents (get it?). If every household in the United States replaced one regular light bulb with one of those new compact fluorescent bulbs, the pollution reduction would be equivalent to removing one million cars from the road.
