Earth Hour with flash . . .
Earth Hour without . . .
We went walking around the neighborhood and ended up spending the last 10 minutes of the hour chatting with the Tueller family on Anna's block.

Without . . .
You get the picture (literally)
This is a Tueller tween schooling me about the camera using (wasting) energy. A die hard among us. Love it.We didn't see anyone else out at the townhouses but when I got home, Tevita said that there were quite a few apartments honoring the hour.
Sweet Celeste with the kittie flashlight. This hour generated a kind of excitement in our family that was not unlike "a holiday" as Celeste described it. Some of the enthusiasm for us was probably the walking, talking, and snacking on milanos but most of it can be attributed to some meaningful discussions we had about our Planet during that time and it seemed that we were proud to be a part of a cause that was greater than ourselves. After the hour, we were still talking and energized about it.Little known fact we learned from his parents tonight is that in Tonga, they did an hour a night for a month last year! This act was a statement to waste less and take care of our earth. Awesome and can't wait until next year.

Thank you again for "Earth Hour". We just put our kids to bed, because we have church at 8:00am the next morning.
As for Blake and I, we talked about of our future for a while. Then Blake played his guitar and I read a book with my flash light.
It was fun!
can't wait until next year too! then maybe we'll actually participate. topics of interest: why doesn't Hawaii have a recycling pick up program? Tonga is doing it right with making this a more than once a year event, and we need to know where Celeste got that cute flashlight.
