I have always enjoyed promoting this very simple event. It only takes dimming your lights for a single hour to make a statement (but promotes activities and conservation that should be practiced throughout the year). When I served as Mayor, I enjoyed invitations to enjoy some great candlelit outdoor parties to jointly mark the event.
CLICK HERE to view Gallery: "Earth Hour 2013 marked
around the globe" Cities around the world have dimmed their lights to take
part in WWF’s Earth Hour 2013. Sydney’s Harbor Bridge and the Opera House had
their illuminating lights turned off for an hour as part of the annual
environmental campaign to encourage people to turn off unnecessary lights and
waste less energy. London landmarks including the Palace of Westminster, the
London Eye and the Gherkin are set to dim their lights for an hour starting at
8.30pm on Saturday.
Go to Earth Hour.org for more information.
Hmm, in considering a great place to spend Earth Hour, I am thinking that it would be a great night to take the family to Bill Sadowski Park,and Nature Preserve a County Park in Palmetto Bay, 17500 SW 78th Ave, where the Southern Cross Astronomical Society
puts out its telescopes each Saturday evening from 8 - 10:00 PM,
"weather" permitting. It is a great event to come to view, solo or with
friends and/or the family.
