Sky’s the Limit

During this year's Earth Hour, I'll be in beautiful Bodega Bay (yep, where The Birds was filmed). Barring any deadly avian attacks, I plan to pour myself a cocktail and kick back on the porch to admire the night sky. No candles, no big event...just me, the stars, our half-full moon, and the sound of the sea.

Only if you're an awkward, slobbery teenager. Otherwise, turn the lights off for a full hour tomorrow starting at 8 p.m. your time, and you'll join millions of people around the planet coming together for a cause even greater than a teen's first kiss: global warming.

There are so many things you can do in the dark. And to take one hour to help our only planet that we live in is such a worthwhile cause.

While I agree the climate is a HUGE concern, the reality is this effort does little to solve the issue. There is a great presenation by Bjorn Lomborg on what issues we should be spending our time and efforts on. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/62 Watch it and comment, or comment on my blog. http://www.davehamel.com I would love to hear others thoughts.

You guys rock and you're my fav website, but I just wanted to point out a slight mistake in today's bite. Actually, if the greenhouse reduction during last year's Earth Hour in Sydney was sustained for a YEAR, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year." Just that one hour didn't do it. On the other hand, we're having a party! Candles, wine, beer and who-knows-what will happen.

We participated in Earth Hour. Even though we were making dinner, well...they were salads but big delicious ones. Here's a poll to tell whether you participated or not...Earth Hour 2008

I'm sure we all realize that one hour of no electricity, even world-wide, won't put a huge dent in the problem. But Earth Hour is about making a point, showing you care.
