Earth Hour: Dining in the dark!
Last Saturday was Earth Hour, a WWF initiative which involved asking everyone around the world turning off their lights between 8.30 and 9.30 pm. This is the hour when everywhere is dark – not much point in suggesting June in this country, for instance.
Anyhow, we signed up (along with the several million everywhere) and invited three people to come along and share it with us. It was terrific. Delicious food, as I entered into the spirit, candles everywhere and a general peaceful good humour.
I recommend it – it is the second year, and it was very good to look on the internet later (now if you like) and see the Sydney Harbour Bridge being turned off, followed by other buildings and landmarks: the Acropolis, the Forbidden City, Copacabana Beach. Irresistible.
